In this project, we will build a sharing platform for humanities data centered on Japanese history and Buddhist studies. We are working on API development to improve the environment to enable data sharing, internationalization, and consolidation. This will strengthen the digital archives for long-term use by humanities researchers in Japan and overseas and research institutes related to the humanities including libraries, museums, and archives.
