Happy to announce the launch of Cultural Japan[1], an integrated portal to provide unified access to a million of Japanese cultural items around the world. Cultural Japan collects metadata of Japan related items from such open data as Metropolitan Museum, Cleveland Museum, MoMA, as well as APIs of Chicago, Harvard, VaM, Rijksmuseum, Digital NZ, Trove, and Europeana, DPLA. It then converts those variety of data to Japan Search RDF schema[2] to align models and vocabularies. It also extracts metadata from IIIF manifests of some 50 institutions, and converts into the same RDF model[3]. Names of Japanese creators are normalized as Japan Search names, with English labels as schema:name@en. Japan Search names are linked to LOD names via owl:sameAs. In addition to standard search interface[1], it provides SPARQL endpoint[4] and Snorql interface[5]. Three fourth of items have IIIF manifests (including dynamically generated ones). The search results are also available as IIIF collection. As an application, it accompanies the "Self Museum"[6], which generates a virtual 3D gallery from IIIF manifests or collections, where you can appreciate your favorite art works in your room. Have fun! on behalf of the Cultural Japan team.
