Our research project consists of three divisions.1 In theoretical division, we implemented a key-concepts network of Information Semiotics, in particular, of TV semiotics, on intranet of the Univ. of Tokyo, utilizing the knowledge management system " Chi no concierge " based on topic map technology. Nowadays this network can be accessed from any server of the Univ. of Tokyo.2 In system development division, we finished all the design of the "Tree of Knowledge for TV analysis. And we developed in collaboration with IRI the Centre Pompidou in Paris a method for using the application Lignes de Temps, annotation tool for multimedia content, to analyze TV program.3 We conceived a new approach to the Archive studies with the Tree of Knowledge, in collaboration with INA and NHK.
