EDITOR'S NOTE
The papers included in this volume were accepted for presentation at the 7th
CODATA Conference by the International Scientific Program Committee and the
editor's function was to scrutinize the papers for typing errors, grammatical
mistakes, style and clarity of presentation. With three quarters of the authors
not having English as their native or adopted tongue and with the rich and
rapidly increasing jargon of the computer and information community, this task
seemed difficult to perform to the desired perfection in the available time.
Whole papers, not just paragraphs or sentences, would have had to be rewritten,
new camera-ready copies prepared to replace those provided by the authors and
this would have caused a 6 months' delay in the publication schedule. It was
therefore decided to opt for speed rather than for quality and only essential
corrections and changes were made. It is hoped that the result, while not
stylishly elegant, will be understandable, that readers will tolerate this
shortcoming with indulgence and will feel free to communicate directly with
authors if in doubt.
The editor wishes to express her thanks and appreciation for their help in
reading, correcting and amending the papers to Mike Baker, Frances Delany,
Dorothy Duncan, Gerard Emptoz, Richard Sinding-Larsen, David G. Watson and
especially to CODATA's former Treasurer, Nicholas Kurti, whose encouragement
and continuous aid was precious, and to the Secretary General, Edgar F.
Westrum, Jr., who spent many late evenings reading and indexing. Thanks are
also due to Tish Bahmani Fard for her friendly help with the typing. The
quiet, efficient collaboration of Mrs. Charlotte Djament was invaluable.

FOREWORD
The scope of the 7th International CODATA Conference held 8-11 October 1980 in Kyoto, Japan, reflects
the growing interest of scientists in the broadened activities of CODATA. The 180 papers by a total
of nearly 400 authors, the number of special sessions and workshops represent a nearly twofold in­
crease compared with the 5th Conference held in 1976 in Boulder, Colorado. A look at the Table of
Contents of the Proceedings of the Kyoto Conference shows clearly CODATA's growing concern with en­
vironmental and the crucial energy questions,with the proliferation and problems of data banking, and
with telecommunication network operations. The high audience interest is demonstrated by the discus­
sions - presented here in an abridged form - which followed the papers.
This volume provides a valuable up-to-date assessment of data "in a dynamic world" by leading experts
and points out possible alternatives, trends, and requirements for the future. Perhaps even more
important, it also conveys a certain sense of urgency for the necessary research, developments, and
planning that must be undertaken now if fully developed alternatives are to be available by the turn
of the century. We live in an era when greater international cooperation in matters concerning data
— and indeed, all of science and technology — is essential if the knowledge and humanistic instincts
of scientists and engineers are to have full impact on improving the lot of the world and of its in­
habitants. Exchange of information such as that which has occurred during the four days at the Kyoto
Conference represents a vital part of such international teamwork by 320 participants from 23 coun­
tries from a mix of disciplines covering the physical, the life and the earth sciences - a truly data-
conscious forum.
It is hoped that this volume will stimulate the readers to get more closely involved in data activi­
ties and to participate in subsequent CODATA Conferences which are to be held in Kozubnik, Poland
(3-7 October 1982) and in Jerusalem, Israel (1984). Further details may be obtained from the CODATA
Secretariat (51 Boulevard de Montmorency, 75016 Paris, France).
I regard the Proceedings of this meeting as a scientific tribute to Professor T. Shimanouchi, the
"prime mover" of the planning until his untimely death. The ultimate success of the Conference was
assured by the resourcefulness and the efforts of the Program Committee, the Organizing Committee and
the Local Organizing Committee.
The readability and the format of the presentation of these papers has been greatly enhanced by the
Editor, Mrs. Phyllis Glaeser, and several other scientists who helped her with the editing and proof­
reading. Her and their dedicated and tireless efforts together with those of Mrs. Charlotte Djament,
who retyped many contributions, have enhanced the reliability of this document.

In Memoriam
Takehiko Shimanouchi
Professor Takehiko Shimanouchi died suddenly of a heart attack at his home in Tokyo on 19th May 1980.
His passing is a great loss to the scientific community, not only in Japan but throughout the whole
world. He is survived by his wife Reiko and two daughters Michiko and Yuriko. He died two days
before his sixty-fourth birthday. Prof. Shimanouchi's diminutive figure and abundant energy are well
known to all active in CODATA. His joie de vivre and cheerful personality gained him many friends.
His formal association with CODATA began in 1973 when he was appointed National Delegate for Japan,
a position he continued to hold until his death. He also served as Vice-President from 1976 to 1978.
During his last year he devoted a great deal of his time to the planning of the Seventh International
CODATA Conference of which he was a Co-Chairman of the Program Committee and Chairman of the Organiz­
ing Committee. He brought to these tasks his characteristic organizing abilities and infectious
enthusiasm. Prof. Shimanouchi also partook very actively in the affairs of the Chemical Society of
Japan and many other Japanese scientific organizations. He was also prominent in IUPAC in which he
served as a Titular Member of the Commission on Molecular Structure and Spectroscopy and as Chairman
of the Subcommittee on Storage and Retrieval of Spectroscopic Data.
Takehiko Shimanouchi was born in Tokyo in 1916. He took the B.Sc. degree at the University of Tokyo
in 1941 and began graduate studies with Prof. San-ichiro Mizushima. He was appointed Associate
Professor under Prof. Mizushima in 1946 and was awarded the doctorate degree of the University of
Tokyo in 1949. Periods of study abroad followed during which he was a post-doctoral fellow at the
University of Minnesota with Prof. Bryce Crawford and at the Thermodynamics Division of the U.S.
National Bureau of Standards with Dr. David Mann. In 1959 he was appointed a full Professor at the
University of Tokyo succeeding to that prestigious chair on the retirement of Prof. Mizushima.
Prof. Shimanouchi was among the earliest physical chemists to recognize the importance the electronic
computer was to have on basic scientific research and scientific data management. In 1972 he was
appointed Director of the Computing Center of the University of Tokyo. In this capacity he played
a major role in developing a network of computerized chemical and spectroscopic data bases throughout
Japan. On his retirement from the University of Tokyo he was appointed Dean of the College of
Information Science at the new University of Tsukuba. Prof. Shimanouchi held this position until
a few months before his death. Returning to Tokyo in March 1980 he joined Meisei University, an
institution with which he had had a long association having attended the Meisei Highschool in his
boyhood.
Prof. Shimanouchi during his long period at the University of Tokyo, first in association with Prof.
Mizushima, and later on his own accord, continued and developed the traditions of this active and
imaginative school of molecular spectroscopy. He gathered around him many promising young scholars
who now occupy senior positions in the academic and industrial life of Japan. This school has also
attracted to Tokyo numerous molecular spectroscopists from all parts of the world.
In 1977 his students published a Memorial Volume of his 293 papers and monographs in commemoration
of his sixtieth birthday. In a preface to this volume Prof. Shimanouchi summarized his area of
scientific activity as follows: For the past 36 years I have been engaged in the study of molecular
structures by means of vibrational spectroscopy. It has always given me much pleasure to examine
the infrared and Raman spectra which I believe are the communications from the world of molecules.
Decoding these messages provides the basis for practical utilization of the molecules for various
purposes. With my colleagues I have tried to decode such messages from molecules of as many classes
as possible.
Those of us who have had the privilege of close association with Prof. Shimanouchi will see in this
succinct summary of his many-sided research activities the broad philosophical approach he brought
to the day-by-day problems of the laboratory. However, his interests ranged much wider. In informal
technical conversations he was always ready to bring out pencil and paper to explain to foreign
visitors some of the intricacies of Japanese language and history.
Prof. Shimanouchi leaves with us all a fond memory of an outstanding scholar. A man whom we all
admire not only for his academic achievements but also for his fortitude in overcoming physical
handicaps.
