Abstract

An optical disk provided with read-exclusive regions where previously recorded information can be read, and with write-enable regions where information can be written. Information not desired to be rewritten can be recorded on the read-exclusive regions. The write-enable regions are open to users to freely add information thereto and to re-write information recorded. This optical disk can thus be used in various fields.
