Outline of Final Research Achievements

I developed the current database system of Shoso-in Monjo, and constructed a new system enabling to connect each resource based on relevant meta information to materials.In particular, we focused on the secondary use side of Shoso-in Monjo showing documents of the Zo Todai-ji Shi Shakyojo,and constructed a new and different database by adopting relevant titles of Buddhist scriptures, names of Buddhist monks, and society titles to shakyo as meta data.
I will release this system as an incoming database of Shoso-in Monjo.
