Abstract
The AMIDER, Advanced Multidisciplinary Integrated-Database for Exploring new
Research, is a newly developed research data catalog to demonstrate an advanced
database application. AMIDER is characterized as a multidisciplinary database
equipped with a user-friendly web application. Its catalog view displays
diverse research data at once beyond any limitation of each individual
discipline. Some useful functions, such as a selectable data download, data
format conversion, and display of data visual information, are also
implemented. Further advanced functions, such as visualization of dataset
mutual relationship, are also implemented as a preliminary trial. These
characteristics and functions are expected to enhance the accessibility to
individual research data, even from non-expertized users, and be helpful for
collaborations among diverse scientific fields beyond individual disciplines.
Multidisciplinary data management is also one of AMIDER's uniqueness, where
various metadata schemas can be mapped to a uniform metadata table, and
standardized and self-describing data formats are adopted. AMIDER website
(https://amider.rois.ac.jp/) had been launched in April 2024. As of July 2024,
over 15,000 metadata in various research fields of polar science have been
registered in the database, and approximately 500 visitors are viewing the
website every day on average. Expansion of the database to further
multidisciplinary scientific fields, not only polar science, is planned, and
advanced attempts, such as applying Natural Language Processing (NLP) to
metadata, have also been considered.
