Enhancement of the functions of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency Library’s Fukushima Nuclear Accident Archive using a novel data flagging system that improves the utilization of numerical data on the Internet

Related to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Accident, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency Library has accumulated valuable information on Internet. In the Fifteenth International Conference on Grey Literature, we reported the development of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Archive using the DSpace. We have encountered a new, challenging issue of grey literature. In many cases, Internet information contains valuable numerical data. However, identifying the existence of numerical data on Internet sites is difficult, and the metadata created for the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Archive cannot currently be used to distinguish whether such information contains numeric data. Therefore, we have considered a method to identify numerical data and have introduced a “data flagging” system that has been used in the International Atomic Energy Agency’s International Nuclear Information System. In this paper, we introduce the proposed data flagging system and discuss its application to the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Archive.Includes: Conference preprint, Powerpoint presentation, Abstract and Biographical notesXAInternationa
