1. Encyclopaedia on the Net (the World Encyclopaedia on the Internet)

Thematic chronological search and thematic place name search was serviced formerly by Hitachi Digital Heibonsha (HDH) and is serviced now by Hitachi Systems & Services, Ltd. The service on the Internet was closed in March 2004, but the service called "Encyclopaedia-on-the-Net for Library" is continued at the end of 2004. The developer of the axis search thanks the people in Hitachi Digital Heibonsha and Hitachi Systems & Services that have continued the service for more than five years after he left this job.
