Operation of the Media Arts Database moved from the Agency for Cultural Affairs to the National Art Center Research Center, and the dataset's resource URIs changed from https://mediaarts-db.bunka.go.jp/ to https://mediaarts-db.artmuseums.go.jp/ with the update of 2024-11-26. Queries, links or stored URIs built on the old namespace need updating. The README says the dataset can be freely reused, with non-contractual requests (note edits, keep the free-reuse notice, avoid harming the works' reputation, respect other rights, cite the dataset version); GitHub shows no license file. The latest release at check was 1.2.21 (2026-10-16). The dataset is metadata only. Rationale: README statements were read and quoted. Counterevidence: none found Uncertainty: API and SPARQL (MADB Lab) details could not be read because the web pages are JavaScript applications.
