Application of the Conceptual Reference Model to Different Standards
FURUKAWA Sakiko, MATSUMURA Atsushi and UDA Norihiko - No.12, p.16-26. 2005.
RESUME: This paper discuses usefulness of the Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) by applying to different standards which include Dublin Core, ISBD, ISAD, and IGMOI.

This research showed one approach to solve interoperability of metadata.

EKOUIN Haku - No.12, p.51-69. 2005.
RESUME: This essay is a short biography and a rough draft of Okisada ASAOKA (Obsolete name: Nobuyoshi KANOU, 1800-1856) . His name is not included in any encyclopedias of art as a heading, except that only a short reference by an compiler under the heading of "[Zotei] Kogabikou : Remarks to the Old Painters, [Additional edition]" is found in some materials. His detailed profile is never known under the present situation.
Regretting the fact, I have been working on the research of this unknown Compiler. The essay below is not based on all of the original texts and materials (archives), and I expect that his profile would be further studied and the original texts and materials would be fully explored.
