Source-derived summary

Niigata College of Technology (新潟工業短期大学, Niigata kōgyō tanki daigaku) is a private junior college in Niigata, Niigata, Japan, established in 1968.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Niigata College of Technology” is japanese college. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Niigata, College and Technology, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1968—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1962, 1968—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. For this dossier, Niigata, College and Technology is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “japanese college” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11502878. VIAF identifies the subject as 260590841. Authority coordinates are 37.882, 138.962. 4 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1968.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
