Overview
From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: Khirin is a new digital infrastructure to serve as a comprehensive digital network of Japanese historical resources. The database uses linked data and the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), and metadata are described in each data source to connect relevant data with Resource Description Framework (RDF). Assigning a URL to each resource enables access to original resources so diverse data such as fact data and resources can be connected at the same time. Through a SPARQL endpoint, the system allows one to connect resources with anyone worldwide.
