Metadata for the Intelligent Use of Manga

Abstract

After the '90s, the research focusing on Manga has been progressing in informatics. It is expected that the development of AI technology enables advanced image processing to deal with semantics and contents in manga. Metadata is useful to handle contents in the image of manga. This paper introduces some research of metadata for the use of contents and their structure included manga. This refers to our system to provide images of manga with its metadata as annotations. To develop this system, we utilize International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) which is an international standard to share images and its annotations.
