What dose Reki-Show mean? Reki - Show 暦 象 : date, calendar : symbol, phenomenon Temporal-Spatial Descriptive Information Temporal Attribute “When” Spatial Attribute “Where” Observation of event “Who did what” “What became how” Copyright © The Institute for Areal Studies, Foundation 2

Conceptual Data Model of Reki-Show A conceptual data model of “ Reki-Show” is defined as follows: REKISHOW(Event) { Event→Time Temporal Attribute Event→Place Spatial Attribute Event→Description } Observation of event Copyright © The Institute for Areal Studies, Foundation 3

Purpose of our project To construct the basic information tool for recording various events, researching and analyzing social phenomena based on the conceptual model of Reki-Show. Copyright © The Institute for Areal Studies, Foundation 4

Basic Concepts of System Sharable: Be able to share knowledge, information, discovery through network. Editable: Be able to edit own historical contents with interactive interface. Tangible: Be able to handle data as tangible objects. Copyright © The Institute for Areal Studies, Foundation 5
