The use of XRAIN had been restricted to authorized individuals only, according to the data policy by the data provider, MLIT, and the DIAS Terms of Service. However, XRAIN data policy was changed recently to allow “research group use”.

With this change, the required items in the application form for permission to use this dataset was added for the case of research group use.

Even if you already have a permission as an individual, it is necessary to apply for permission again for use it in a research group. In addition, the registration of DIAS account by a group is not permitted as before, please submit the application form by an individual belonging to the group.

Please contact the DIAS Secretariat by e-mail if you have any questions.
