Construction of Scientific Information Network on Medieval Archaeology in Northeast Asia.

我们2007财年项目的目标是建立一个连接俄罗斯、中国和蒙古考古研究中心的研究信息网络。年初，选定了每个国家的联络中心，并举行了会议，讨论信息交流所需的服务器。为了让每个机构都能使用能够方便安装和操作的软件，决定以东洋大学藤田教授团队开发的Global Base为基础，构建自主分布式网络，在俄罗斯，俄罗斯科学院西伯利亚分支考古与民族学研究所和伊尔库茨克技术大学考古研究所都同意建立网络服务器，在中国，吉林大学初步提出建立服务器，并访问了这所大学进行讨论。然而，建立一个开放系统服务器没有得到许可，而且还发现吉林大学在这个项目上有财务问题。于是，决定转投位于北京的中国人民大学。北京大学已经建立了地理研究的全球基地，我们的项目是与该机构合作开发的。在蒙古，科学院考古研究所同意了这一提议，但由于基础设施和其他问题，无法建立网络。10月，在中国人民大学举行了一次研讨会。会上介绍了全球数据库的情况，并讨论了每个国家在建立研究信息网络方面取得的进展。来自俄罗斯、中国和日本的与会者参加了这次讲习班。

The objective of our project in Fiscal 2007 was to establish a research information network linking archaeological research centers in Russia, China and Mongolia. At the beginning of the year, focal centers from each country were chosen and meetings were held to discuss server requirements for information exchange. In order for each institution to use software that could be easily installed and operated, it was decided to build an autonomous distributed network based on the Global Base developed by Professor Fujita's team at Toyo University.In Russia, the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Archaeology Institute of Irkutsk Technical University both agreed to set up the network server and concrete progress was made toward this end.In China, Jilin University initially proposed that it set up a server and a visit was made to this university to discuss this option. However, permission was not given to establish an open systems server and it was also found that Jilin University had financial problems with this project. As a result, it was decided to switch to Renmin University of China, located in Beijing. Global Base had already been set up at Beijing University for geographical research and our project developed in association with this institution.In Mongolia, the Archaeology Institute of the Academy of Sciences agreed to the proposal, but it was not possible to set up the network due to infrastructure and other problems.In October, a workshop was held at Renmin University of China. A presentation was made on the Global Base and discussions were held on progress in each country toward forming the research information network. Participants from Russia, China and Japan attended this workshop.
