Intelligent Search Engine for Belief Legends

ISEBEL提供了对三个世界上最大的机器可操作的民间传说收藏（荷兰民间故事数据库-Meertens Instituut，阿姆斯特丹，丹麦民间故事数据库-UCLA和梅克伦堡民间故事数据库-WossiDiA，罗斯托克）的智能搜索和分析，为传统民间表达文化的大规模数据驱动研究提供了机会。通过促进搜索，发现和分析所有三个集合，ISEBEL为研究人员提供了一个前所未有的机会，发现模式内和跨目标语料库。拟议的研究，侧重于讲故事的人，传说和（历史）信仰的分散在魔术，巫术，闹鬼和超自然生物试图揭示普通人相信什么，以及讲故事的传统和故事剧目如何在这三个领域中和跨这三个领域的差异。将民俗学建模为具有文化意义的传统表达形式在社交网络上和跨社会网络的动态循环，提供了对信仰形成以及故事讲述与故事产生的丰富文化背景之间的关系的新见解的可能性。

ISEBEL provides intelligent search and analysis across three of the world slargest machine actionable folklore collections (Dutch Folktale Database-Meertens Instituut, Amsterdam, the Danish Folktale Database-UCLA, and the Mecklenburger Folklore Database-WossiDiA, Rostock) presenting the opportunity for large scale data-driven research into traditional folk expressive culture. By facilitating search, discovery and analysis across all three collections, ISEBEL provides researchers an unprecedented opportunity to discover patterns both within and across the target corpora. The proposed research, focusing on storytellers, legends and the dispersion of (historical) beliefs in magic, witchcraft, hauntings and supernaturalbeings seeks to reveal what ordinary people believed, and how storytelling traditions and story repertoires differed in and across these three areas. Modeling folklore as the dynamic circulation of culturally meaningful traditional expressive forms on and across social networks profers the possibility for new insights into the formation of belief and the correlations between storytelling and the rich cultural contexts in which those stories arise.
