Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we established integrated information access techniques for digital archives of Japanese cultural materials scattering around the world, with the objective of effectively utilizing such materials which are rapidly digitized in recent years. As a result, we achieved our research goal of providing integrated access means to multiple digital archives which could only be accessible individually, by automatically linking related records in such digital archives provided in different languages.
