Linked data driven multilingual access to diverse Japanese Ukiyo-e databases by generating links dynamically

摘要

This research article provides a summary of our approach in providing integrated multilingual access to diverse digital archives of Japanese Ukiyo-e prints. We propose a novel method, which generates links across databases using Linked Data. A retrieval system has been developed for realizing the proposed method, which dynamically creates links to miscellaneous Linked Data resources from authority data. By using the proposed method, users would allowed to access to additional data about a certain record in multiple databases not depending on languages and formats of each database. Experimental evaluations have conducted to measure reliability of the generated links. The experimental results show high accuracy rate and prove the effectiveness of the proposed method. Links to major Linked Data resources were created successfully.
