Abstract:
There exist various kinds of data providing and analyzing service on Web sites. Japanese College and University Portraits is an information system consisting of databases with Web services for providing information concerning various activities undertaken by universities and junior colleges, covering national, prefectural, municipal, and private institutions. This paper describes the outline of this integrated system and related analysis systems. Especially, we focus on data providing service in several ways including research results conducted by the research department of National Institution for Academic Degrees and Quality Enhancement of Higher Education. A further advanced and integrated data analysis and data visualization system can be developed by using Web APIs with various multivariate analysis methods. Canonical correlation analysis is one of the basic and requisite data analysis and visualization skills for data analysts in this Big Data era. Therefore, because data is received through Web APIs, the development of an integrated data analysis system equipped with canonical correlation analysis is desirable. This article also presents a work-in-progress result of the canonical correlation analysis for higher education institutional data.
