An attempt to develop an item management system for WEKO3

Abstract

　Recent years, an attempt for the purpose of publishing, sharing, reusing data called "Open Science" has become active for easier access to papers and research data. Along with this, in Japan, academic repositories are built at many academic research institutions using a repository system named WEKO. When we consider using WEKO as a data repository, it is not easy for the users to search the data which they wish because metadata are not well standardized in many academic elds. In the present study, we developed a new user interface for the data repository using WEKO3, which is expected to be a mainstream of repository system in the future. We propose a tag management system to manage items stored in the data repository by assigning various tags. We also introduce several APIs for tag management such as registration, search, editing, and extraction of the information.
