Abstract
Manga has been very popular in Japan for many years and it is now gaining popularity worldwide. Given the new creation and display devices, the production and publication of manga is also changing. Once a manual art form, manga is becoming a digital art and so there are now emerging digital libraries of manga.This paper proposes a metadata-based platform to make manga production and browsing more efficient. We have designed metadata models to describe visual structure, bibliographic relationships and characters as intellectual entities, and so forth. The models are based on our Manga Metadata Framework, developed in our previous work, that defines the functional requirements of metadata for manga. This paper describes an authoring tool that for editing storyboards of manga while simultaneously creating metadata. This paper also shows a manga collection browser.
