Traditional Vietnamese medicine with the use of natural herbs has a very long history. However, the database of these herbs mainly exists on handwritten documents, is relatively rare and difficult to standardize and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. The Seminar with the content "The database of Vietnamese herbs" will introduce VIETHERB (http://vietherb.com.vn). This is an open database about Vietnamese herbs, serving the research and modernization of traditional medicine, drug preparation by computer, conservation of endangered plant species as well as providing research information for other relevant scientific disciplines.
