European Korean Studies Database
Project for the initiation of a digital collections sharing network for Korean studies using ActiveMedia.

The European Korean Studies Database was an initiative of me and Prof. Boudewijn Walraven at the Centre for Korean Studies at Leiden University in 2006. It was set up, like the Japanese version, the EJSD, to provide scholarly and educational institutions in Europe the means to share educational and research materials in the field of Korean Studies.

In order to do this Leiden University set up a service that uses the web based digital asset management system ActiveMedia, in which one can store, edit, manage and retrieve digital assets like text documents, all kind of image formats, pdf-files, presentations, animation, video and sound files.

This project was generously sponsored by the Korea Foundation.
