22. Collaboration with other institutions (4) System Collaboration with JDArchive We are now examining two methods Case 1: Use JDArchives API 1. Harvest JDArchives metadata by API 2. Select and accumulate metadata 3. You can search JDArchives metadata in ours Case2: Display a link to JDArchive on the right side of our archive We will give URL with search query from ours to JDArchive 24 Jan 2013 22 Opportunities and Challenges of Participatory Digital Archives: Lessons from the March 11, 2011 Great Eastern Japan Disaster

23. Collaboration with other institutions (5) In our archive system We harvest metadata at regular intervals from other related organizations by API We will provide a records upload service: If you register and pass our validation, you can upload records to our system We preserve records you uploaded for the long term You can open records to the public on our archive We will provide API Search API and metadata harvesting API will be available Metadata provided by API are limited to those with permission from authors to distribute 24 Jan 2013 23 Opportunities and Challenges of Participatory Digital Archives: Lessons from the March 11, 2011 Great Eastern Japan Disaster

24. Future perspective Creating a trustworthy repository whose records cannot be destroyed Considering how to collect, preserve and share government documents in the society Considering standards or guidelines of metadata creation with other related organizations Considering a mechanism to promote secondary use of records and metadata Expanding system collaboration to search metadata comprehensively Developing use case model by cooperating with related organizations 24 Jan 2013 24 Opportunities and Challenges of Participatory Digital Archives: Lessons from the March 11, 2011 Great Eastern Japan Disaster
