Book excerpt: The collection and organization of computerized technical data in the materials field present a number of interesting terminological and computer science challenges. One aspect involves developing a comprehensive, consistent, and, hopefully, an ultimately acceptable standardized terminology for the materials field. Another is the devising of practical ways in which such a terminology, when incorporated as part of a database, can be utilized in continuing data collection, organization, and accession activities. Our experience to date may be applicable to other fields of science and technology.
