An XML-based Information System for Old Occitan Medical Terminology

该项目的第一个资助阶段最初规划为六年，将于2015年12月结束。该项目的目的是第一次在数字词典系统中涵盖旧奥克西坦医学-植物学术语。我们的文本语料库包括我们的意大利项目合作伙伴M.S.Corradini(Pisa)和申请者及其工作人员在项目框架内额外制作的现有版本和手稿的抄本。由于犹太医学在中世纪法国南部的重要存在，相当一部分的O.Occ。医学术语保留在希伯来语文本中，并以希伯来语字符书写。这些文本中的解释--主要是通过阿拉伯语的对等术语--对于我们理解O.Occ的含义是基本的。有争议的词汇。至于数字化，我们一直在与中国人民共和国语言计算研究所(Pisa)合作，使用佛罗伦萨Rinascimento Digitale基金会开发的拼音文本系统(PTK)。在第一个资助期，我们开发了一个高度差异化的词典结构，用于涵盖两个字母表中的lemmata和变体，我们以面向对象的数据库的形式在PTK中实现了这一结构。在数据输入方面，我们开发了一个全面的基于网络的输入工具，供所有项目参与者使用。到第一个资助期(APPR)结束时，Lemmata和变种的输入将达到50%。约1900只旅鼠的4000个变种)。这包括通过法语通信/释义以及尽可能使用科学术语对含义进行第一次描述。我们还开始登记其他语言(主要是阿拉伯语、希伯来语和拉丁语)的术语，这些术语在手稿中显示为等同的术语。我们在这里申请的项目延期旨在再用三年时间完成该系统，并使其能够通过基于网络的查询工具访问。查询工具还将提供词汇信息和文本之间的联系，以及获得一致的可能性。整个词典系统还将通过导出功能以XML格式提供，我们已经开始致力于此工作。至于内容，延长项目的重点是输入语料库中剩余的术语及其阿拉伯语和希伯来语对应词，以及加强语义部分。正如我们在最初的提案中已经计划的那样，我们将在三个层面上提供本体论分类(古典分类学的“BegriffsSystem”、现代科学分类和中世纪的体液病理分类)。在这方面，我们已经在第一个资助期内做了一些前期工作。在这一框架内，广泛研究了许多O.Occ.需要术语，这些术语通常只能通过希伯来语和阿拉伯语才能理解。

The first funding phase of this project, originally laid out for six years, will end in Dec. 2015. The aim of the project is to cover the Old Occitan medico-botanical terminology for the first time and within a digital lexicographic system. Our text corpus consists of existing editions and transcripts of manuscripts that have been additionally made in the framework of the project by our Italian project partner M.S. Corradini (Pisa) and the applicants and their staff. Due to the important presence of Jewish medicine in medieval Southern France, a considerable part of the O.Occ. medical terminology is conserved in Hebrew texts and written in Hebrew characters. The explanations in these texts - mainly through equivalent terms in Arabic - are fundamental to our understanding of the meaning of the O.Occ. vocabulary at issue. As for digitalization, we have been cooperating with the Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale of the CNR (Pisa), using the system Pinakes Text (PTK), which was developed at the Fondazione Rinascimento Digitale in Florence. In the first funding period, we have developed a highly differentiated lexicographic structure for covering lemmata and variants in two alphabets, which we implemented in PTK in the shape of an object-oriented database. For data input, we developed a comprehensive web-based input tool, which is used by all the project participants. The entry of lemmata and variants will have been accomplished up to 50% by the end of the first funding period (appr. 4000 variants assigned to around 1900 lemmata). This includes a first description of meaning through correspondences/paraphrases in French and, as far as possible, by using the scientific terminology. We have also begun to register the terms in other languages (mainly Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin) that are indicated as equivalents in the manuscripts. The project prolongation that we apply for here aims at finalizing the system in another three years and making it accessible through a web based query tool. The query tool will also provide linkage between the lexical information and the texts as well as the possibility of obtaining concordances. The whole lexicographic system will be also available in XML through an export function, which we have already started working upon. As for the contents, the prolongation of the project focuses on the input of the remaining terms of the corpus and their Arabic and Hebrew correspondences as well as on the enhancement of the semantic component. As we had already planned in the initial proposal, we will provide an ontological classification on three levels (classical onomasiological "Begriffssystem", modern scientific classification, and medieval humoral-pathological classification). In this respect, we have already done some preliminary work during the first funding period. Within this framework, extensive research on the meaning of many of the O.Occ. terms is needed, which can often only be understood through Hebrew and Arabic.
