Analytical study on the location information of the archival resources.

该项目的第一个目的是调查和收集关于日本档案资源位置的资料，特别是在那些以前没有作出这种努力的地区。收集资料的方式是通过图书馆和档案机构取得出版物或影印本的档案材料目录。在项目期间，调研人员走访了33个地级市的129个档案机构，收集到460个目录303种。所有这些目录都在Shiryokan向公众开放。该项目的第二个目的是改进SINDBAD系统。Shiryokan国家档案文献资源数据库。在这方面，最终完成了《档案位置数据表描述录入手册》，大大提高了录入数据的质量。检索辅助工具也得到了改进。其中最重要的是利用关系数据库的编程功能开发了使用日文年代名称字典的数据检索系统。最后也是主要的目的是分析信息。由于通过该项目收集的数据规模太大，因此仅选择与神奈川县有关的数据作为案例研究。本案例分析的因素有：产地、原地名、原阶级或职业、内容、含日期。研究结果充分证明了通过本项目开发的数据库的有效性。

The first purpose of the project was investigating and collecting information on the location of archival resources in Japan, especially in those areas where such attempts had been poorly made before. Information was collected by obtaing catalogs of archival materials, either in publications or in photocopies, through libraries and archival institutions. During the term of the project, 129 archival institutions of 33 prefectures were visited by the investigators and 460 catalogs of 303 titles were collected. All of those catalogs are open to the public at the Shiryokan.The second purpose of the project was improving the SINDBAD system. Shiryokan National Database of Archival and Documentary Resources. In this sphere, the "Manual of Descripting and Inputting Archives Location Data Sheet" was finally completed and the quality of inputted data was strongly enhanced. Retrieval aids were also improved.Among those the most important was the development of data retrival system using Japanese era name dictionary made through the programming function of the relational database.The final and main purpose was analysing the information. Because the scale of data collected through the project was too huge, only the data relating to Kanagawa Prefecture were selected for a case study. Fuctors analyzed in this case study were : provenance, former place name, former class or occupation, contents, and inclusive dates. The result of the study fully demonstrated the effectiveness of the database developed through the present project.
