Abstract

In order to promote the utilization of digital archives, the Japanese government has established ‘Japan Search’, a cross-border integrated portal in various fields and regions that connects information and users. After the test version was released in February 2019, the official version was released on August 25, 2020, and it is in full operation. ‘Japan Search’, which targets all kinds of cultural resources, is evaluated as a point of arrival in the genealogy of Japanese digital archives. In the background, above all, it is aimed at a virtuous cycle structure that focuses on conveniently utilizing vast digital resources and returns the results to archive providers. The goal of establishing an active digital environment through significant reinforcement in terms of use among the entire distribution system of digital archives through the ‘My Note’ function or the joint editing function of ‘Workspace’, which can conceive personalized electronic exhibitions added to the official edition of ‘Japan Search’. In this digital environment focused on transfer and utilization, classical fields such as a book in classical Chinese(漢籍), which have been mainly used as research data for researchers, seem to have provided an opportunity to lead to the development of Chinese literature by narrowing the distance from the public. In this paper, I will look at how Japan's National Assembly Library's digital archive policy has progressed in relation to content utilization and utilization, and derive the direction of operation of ‘Japan Search’, which encompasses it, and its implications.
