What connects the humanities and sciences? Data-driven research hypothesizes that it is data. Even in research projects that tackle a common subject, each academic field has its own questions and methodologies, and it isn't easy to unite the interests of the entire research. However, data can be shared, at least. And it is the role of informatics to build a platform for sharing data and knowledge. Data-driven research connected by informatics, which has aspects of the humanities and sciences, will be presented as a case study of trans-disciplinary research in Japanese culture and historical big data.
