Abstract

In this paper we introduce our system that retrieves Ukiyo-e databases using an English query by customizing and utilizing freely available open source software. In our system, the Ukiyo-e metadata elements were mapped to Dublin Core. We adopted a dictionary-based query translation approach and utilized the Greenstone Digital Library Software to make available our Ukiyo-e digital collections online. The preliminary result is an easy-to-use and useful system for users who do not understand Japanese, that allows to search and view Japanese Ukiyo-e databases in English.
