National Institute of Informatics (NII) is developing an "Online Analysis System" as part of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) project to promote the construction of a data infrastructure for the humanities and social sciences.
This system started a demonstration experiment (closed β test) in October 2020, and is currently looking for universities and research institutions to participate in the experiment. If you are interested, please contact the person in charge at the bottom of this page.
What is our Online Analysis System?
NII provides Jupyter Notebook and RStudio execution environment on the cloud.
Researchers can log in to the online analysis system and immediately create and run programs in R or Python.
Collaborators and students can import publicly available research data and programs into the online analysis system at the touch of a button and begin analyzing the data immediately.
It is also suitable for use in seminars, lectures, and exercises where the analysis environment is provided to a large number of students. This reduces the burden on teachers and instructors to build the environment.
