Research on integrated multimedia data systems to support the humanities research

为了支持人文科学研究，研究并实现了一个集成的超链接数据库系统。该系统包含有关作者“、作品”、书目和“所有者”的数据库，并且所有相关数据实体都相互超链接。系统还计划与全文数据库和原始文档图像数据库相连接。为了满足复杂的需求，我们实现了一个集成的面向对象的数据库系统（ODBMS）。用户可以使用Java实现的图形用户界面（GraphicalUserInterface）输入/修改数据库内容，并将数据库内容转换为超链接SGML文件，用于公共服务的数字图书馆（http//www.nijl.ac.jp/infocenter/）。

To support the humanity researches, an integrated and hyperlinked database system has been studied and implemented. The system contains databases on authors", works', "bibliographies and 'owners', and all related data entities are hyperlinked each other. The system is also planed to be linked to fulltext databases and original-document image databases.To attain complex requirements, we have implemented an integrated object-oriented database system (ODBMS). Users can input/modify DB contents using user-friendly Graphical User Interfaces, which is implemented in Java.The system also can convert the DB contents to hyperlinked SGML files, which are used in the Digital Library (http//www.nijl.ac.jp/infocenter/) for public services.
