Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Demographic data is one of the best data that characterizes a city or town. Especially, when local governments work out a policy, demographic data is very informative. Kobe city has published fine-grained demographic data which is grouped by gender and age for each ward, town, town block. However, the current major format of demographic data is not machine-readable format. Thus, an application developer has to understand a complicated table structure. In this paper, we develop Web-API, which is called Kobe Demographics API, for easy access to demographic data of Kobe city. It enables users to efficiently query demographic data at various viewpoints and granularity such as period, location, gender, and age. Using the API, we also visualize the micro-level population in Kobe city.
