A Feasibility Research on Text Data Description Rule and Database for Japanese Classical Literature.

一种名为KOKIN （kokugaku INformation）规则的文本数据描述规则（TDR）基于与SGML相同的概念，被研究和开发用于日本古典文学文本。根据这一规则，许多日本文学文本被描述，如岩上出版的《日本古典文学大纲》（约100卷）。600部作品)、德佑道的《说书大纲》（20卷）、《日本诗选》21篇选集。然后，利用新开发的数据模型将这些数据组织、开发并实现为全文数据库，并将其传输到国立日本文学研究所（NIJL）的主机上。并且，这些数据的一部分也分别作为本地数据库服务器组织和实现到工作站和pc上。特别是，为工作站或个人电脑的文本处理系统开发了用于《讲故事大纲》全文数据库的cd - rom。其中一个系统已经投入实际应用，称为Media-Finder系统。从文献的来源和传播的情况来看，仅以某一文献的某一文本作为数据准备的主体是极其困难的。为了在多个传送的版本之间相互参照，也许有必要编制包含大多数传送版本的数据库。出于这个原因，可以使用一个修订版，其中将一些传输版本进行排列和组合。因此，在日本文学研究中，检索文本数据库是必不可少的。此外，还评估了SGML在TDR上的可用性。DTD（数据类型定义）是为与SGML一起使用而创建的。然后，将数据存储到数据库中，并由SGML系统提供的字符串搜索工具（如mark -it）使用。

A Text data Description Rule (TDR) called KOKIN (KOKubungaku INformation) rule has been researched and developed for Japanese classical literature texts, based on the same concept as the SGML.By this rule many Japanese literary texts have been described, such as the Outline of Japanese classical literature published by Iwanami (100 volumes.approx.600 works), the Outline of storytelling by Tokyou-do (20 volumes), and 21 Selections of the Anthology of Japanese Poems, Tanka.Then, these data are organized, developed and implemented as the full-text database using new developed data model to the main frame computer of the National Institute of Japanese Literature (NIJL). And, parts of these data are also organized and implemented to the Workstations and PCs as the local database server, respectively.Particulaly, CD-ROMs for full-text databases on the Outline of Storytelling are developed with text handling systems for the Workstations or PCs. One of these systems has been put to practical use, named as Media-Finder system.It is extremely difficult to take only one text of a certain literature as the subject of data preparation, from the circumstance of its origin and transmissions. For cross-reference among multiple transmitted versions, it is perhaps necessary to prepare databases that include most of these transmitted versions. For this reason, a recension, in which some transmitted versions are arranged and combined, is usable. So, the recension text databases are necessary for research in Japanese literature.Besides, availability on the TDR by SGML was evaluated. DTD (Data Type Definition) are created for use with SGML about the Anthology of Tanka. Then, the data were stored to database and used by a character string search tool provided on SGML system (ex.Mark-it).
