Development of A Multilingual Database System for Fapanese Language Eduation

本研究的目的是将CASTEL/J日语教育数据库开发成外国语言。本研究在四年的实施计划中取得了进展。今年是最后一年我们的CASTEL/J项目应用多媒体技术开发了日语教与学数据库。我们开发了（1）Kanjj的词典数据库，（2）Kanjj的Hitsujun数据库，（3）基本词汇数据库，（4）用法数据库，（5）学术术语数据库，（6）日英词典，（7）阅读文本数据库，（8）基本日语的语音数据和（9）基本日语的视觉数据。通过对CASTEL/JCD-ROM中的上述数据库进行划分，我们可以将基本词典开发成多种语言的词典。具体来说，我们改进了CASTEL/J数据库，其中包括日语和英语到西班牙语。葡萄牙语德语意大利语。通过本课题的研究，我们确信CASTEL/J数据库可以为更多的日本教师和学生所使用。但是，如果我们评估开发的系统，如何拼写一个基本的单词，目前还不能称之为完整的。这是一个未来的主题。

But, If we evaluate the developed system, how to spell a basic word cannot call it completeness yet at present. This is a future subject.
