In principle, MatNavi of DICE service provides services to individuals belonging to organizations, and we utilize the user identification based on the domain of e-mail address.
But as a temporary measure, MatNavi service has been available to those who identify themselves with passport. However, we are going to end this temporary solution from the following dates.
[Procedures]
(1)Please get a DICE account with email domain name identification. The domain name must be the one you are using with email in your organization. (for every users.)
If you have registered a DICE account using an e-mail address that you are handling in your organization, you can skip this step.
(2) Please do the registration of the domain name of your email address with us. (The application must be submitted by domain administrator of your email address.)
When (2) is completed, the transition of your personal identification will be completed automatically.
* It may take some time to do this registration, so please do as soon as possible.

- Application for Domain Name Registration of E-mail address: https://dice.nims.go.jp/domain_apply.html
Your DICE account will be deleted if you don't switch your account by the date mentioned above. Please keep in mind.
Due to the increasing number of exhaustive data extractions (web scraping, etc.) from free email addresses of unknown affiliation even though we prohibit, we had no choice but to modify user verification of registration procedures.
In order to protect our data assets, we must unavoidably adopt the new method.
We would like any user to act immediately, then again it will be possible to link with DICE as well as with other DICE services.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

MatNavi and RDE are currently unavailable due to temporary maintenance.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
Effective Date: August 1, 2023
Changes:
- Addition of a service covered by the DICE Account (Article 4)
- Correction of errors, etc.
Please see below for the revised Terms of Use.
- DICE Account Terms of Use (Revised Version)_ Effective August 1, 2023
- Comparison table
Note:
If data is uploaded during the above time period, the registration may fail due to incorrect structuring process.
For this reason, please stop data registration work.
The DICE has been publishing and operating the NIMS Materials Database (MatNavi) and the Materials Data Repository (MDR), and now a new data storage and sharing service (RDE) has been added. (https://dice.nims.go.jp/services/RDE/)
● What RDE can do
- Quick online registration of research data generated daily in laboratories.
- Registered data is automatically structured and stored in a reusable format.
- Accumulated data can be used in the research group's dedicated area or shared with other research groups. Furthermore, the data can be shared over a wide area.
(1) Polymer Database (PoLyInfo) and Metallic Material Database (Kinzoku): The databases have been restructured to facilitate data management and linkage between data, and search and display screens have been improved.
(2) NIMS Structural Materials Data Sheet Online: A new drawing method has been adopted, and the files can be viewed using any browser.
(3) Inorganic Materials Database (AtomWork): The interface has been improved to be easier to view and use.
(4) Metal Segregation Prediction System (SurfSeg) and Interface Bonding Prediction System (InterChemBond): Algorithms have been added.
A new authentication system has been introduced for the purpose of linking all DICE services. By using the DICE account (common ID) granted by this system, user authentication will be centralized. Users will be able to access each DICE service with a single sign-on as long as they meet the terms of use of each service.
NIMS is promoting the strategic collection, accumulation, distribution, and utilization of high-quality materials data from industry and academia as a "Data Core Center" under the "Materials DX Platform Initiative" of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. We will continue to develop and expand DICE's services and strongly support data-driven materials research to be developed on a nationwide scale.

This notice is to inform you that we plan to update the user registration and authentication systems of MatNavi to improve its security. This update will take place on December 1, 2020.
Users who have registered to the old system must register again on the newly updated system. The old registered information will be completely discarded, and thus logging into the newly updated system with old information will not be possible.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this update and ask for your cooperation. The necessary steps to renew your user registration are described below.
As a result, all user information registered in the current system will be discarded and the registration information will be invalid.
Then you can continue to use MatNavi as you did before.

Materials Data Platform Center, Research and Services Division of Materials Data and Integrated System (MaDIS), at the National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) released the "Materials Data Repository (MDR)" on June 15th, 2020, to contribute to the promotion of the data-driven research in the materials science field. https://mdr.nims.go.jp
Publication of research results has been done by publishing papers and presenting at conferences. However, further use of the data is becoming increasingly important by releasing the supporting data with the research results or by releasing the data by itself independently.
MDR is a data repository to collect and store papers, presentation materials, and related materials data to accumulate and release them in a form suitable for the promotion of materials research and materials informatics. Users can search the documents and the data from information (metadata) such as sample, instrument, method, and from the full text of the deposited data, to browse and download them freely. User registration is not required and there is no charge for use.
Furthermore, the contents of the existing NIMS repositories (PubMan for papers and Imeji for image data) and a part of MatNavi database (READS this time and FGM in July) will be transferred to MDR.
Materials data are being collected from NIMS and related institutes and will be posted to expand the data as they become available. In the future, data from cooperating organizations and the general users will be collected and stored to further accumulate materials data.
Before using MDR, please visit the following site to learn how to use the service and agree to its terms.

]]>Materials Data Platform Center, Research and Services Division of Materials Data and Integrated System (MaDIS), The National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) launches the web site of the Materials Data Platform DICE on June 15th, 2020, which contributes to the promotion of the data-driven research in the materials science field.
https://dice.nims.go.jp/
DICE is an unprecedented system that handles materials data from the point of entry (data collection) to the point of exit (data service). At the point of entry, we implemented a high-throughput and high-quality collection/registration system from multiple information sources such as experimental and measurement equipment, literature, and repositories. The system also adds to the value of the stored data by hierarchical and structural interpretation of data in RDF* format and connecting data by informatic methods such as Linked Data**. At the point of exit, DICE provides not only data visualization systems and various analysis software but also systems-scientific services that can offer a clue for solving materials development problems, such as materials informatics.
DICE will incorporate "NIMS Materials Database (MatNavi)" and "NIMS Materials Data Conversion Tools (M-DaC)", which are already in service, and "Materials Data Repository (MDR)", which is released today. A variety of services will be provided on DICE in the coming days, including the dissemination of related information and further expansion of data.
* Resource Description Framework: A framework for describing the relationships between elements.
** Linked Data: A methodology for publishing machine-readable data by linking structured data.
