摘要

The issue of safety has been widely studied in numerous fields, such as ocupational safety, trafic safety, environmental problems, chemical safety, drug safety, and so on. It is therefore necessary to retrieve data from multiple databases in these fields in order to collect safety information in interdeciplinary fields. However, it is difficult to comprehensively gather safety information because of difference between keyword system maintained by each database.rnThe terminology database in safety research has been developed, in order to innovationally improve the efficiency of retrieval from a number of databases with respect to safety issues. This paper describes the procedure of construction and the characteristics of the terminology database under developing.
