DAAS stores an extremely large number of digitalized architectural data/materials that include photographs and designs. DAAS’s basic philosophy regarding the use of these stored data/materials center on the following three goals.

1. Maximum effort should be made to protect the copyrights of rights’ holders.
2. A flexible approach should be taken to meet various use objectives.
3. A contribution to the development of architecture should be made by promoting data/material use.

In order to realize these goals, DAAS provides a “curator support function” that allows the use of stored data/materials on websites (of both individuals and corporations) that are other than the DAAS website.

Users of this function must register website URLs that will reference or display data/materials. Unfortunately, however, full testing of this function toward use by all users has not been completed, and thus it is currently being provided as a beta version.

Please direct inquiries regarding the curator function to the DAAS office from the inquiries page.
