A simply structured digital database system wherein temporal and spatial information is stored in a number of layers is essential for the accumulation and transaction of information across regions and periods in Asia and Africa. Therefore, to strengthen the source of academic studies in Asia and Africa, this project aims to develop a highly sophisticated yet user-friendly public database system for academics and to pragmatically implement its diffusion by mining the huge quantity of previously unused information.
