Outline of Final Research Achievements

Electronic book publishing is already widely accepted. Electronic books have large potential to change not only the format and media of books but also the production and reading styles. However, the changes in production and reading styles the electronic books are limited yet. This project which focuses on the production of manga, is aimed to develop a model and software tools to support the production process and use of manga in the digital environment. This project uses the Manga Metadata Framework (MMF), which is defined by the principal investigator and his colleagues as the base metadata model for manga and covers bibliographic information, structural features and intellectual entities. In this project, we have developed a set of software tools to help manga production in the early stages of the lifecycle of manga, a technology to identify Work instances of FRBR Group 1 entities using the bibliographic records, and an ontology for manga based on MMF to help access to manga.
