Abstract
In the field of oriental medicine, many researchers head for the aim of standardization. To achieve this aim, oriental medical researchers have been carried out experimental research, statistical research, clinical research, philological research, etc., and, have published their results to journals. But, the declaration of Roman name of herbal formula is not united each other, on several article. So, we should prepare database to search in domestic and overseas, and should consider compatibility of internationally used search system. Also, it is need to use appropriate roman letters in oriental medical terms for people can use easily. We inquired the type of roman letters in the name of formula of article that were carried oriental medical journal, to find out appropriate roman letters and to the demands of the times. There were many cases that Korean name of formula is not correspond to the declaration of Korea roman letters. Also, the declaration of roman letters for preparation like as tang(湯), san(散), hwan(丸) etc. are not standardized. To facilitate making database and forming search system, now we suggest that we can standardize the declaration of Korea roman letters by using of Hangul(한글) word processor's toolbar which has transformation of roman letters.
