Its contents are readable, edit-able and re-trievable within the attached network with user authentication. This feature hasenough merits that compensate for the difficulty in storing handwritings. More-over, the present system solved the problematic separated storage of experimentaldata and their supplemental descriptions, which are formerly recorded in hard disksand paper-based notebooks, respectively. This all-in-one knowledge managementsystem enables an automatic linking service from data files to related blog contents.Its web-based nature also enables us to share the contents with colleagues over thenet. It is an alternative way of using large-scale top-down group-ware for smallclosed communities.References• S. Todoroki, T. Konishi and S.
