The purpose of this special feature is to introduce research areas that consciously present their attitudes toward understanding "others" using digital archive and digital data. So far, they have not been discussed head-on at Japan Society for Digital Archive. However, looking at other fields, people such as anthropologists, sociologists, and artists who are trying to "artistically" express the anthropological interest of understanding "others" have accumulated research. Some people try to express their understanding of human activities in the east and west in a multidimensional way through the digital format. Another people try to re-express the existing digital data that they have read and analyzed in a form that they can sympathize with. In this special issue, as practical examples of such research, we will take up ‘The Info-Forum Museum’ Project of the National Museum of Ethnology and the attempts of four people.
