Making of CD-ROM of Research Papers of Quantitative Japanese Linguistics and Development of the Technology of its Usages

1.我们制作了日语定量论文光盘的初步试用版。然后，我们招募了一些监督员，请他们对光盘进行评估，并给我们一些建议。我们考虑了CD-ROM的一些有效和有用的用法。我们使用了五个光学字符阅读器软件，并将扫描的纸张放入软件中，以评估OCR软件是否能在字符识别过程中实际使用。结果表明，即使是最有效的软件也不能完全识别我们的文档。误差水平是某个百分比量级。事实表明，OCR软件还远远没有达到实际成功的水平，我们不能利用这些软件作为一种输入法。我们对每个研究领域的数百篇研究论文进行了调查，并试图了解每篇论文的数据量。我们将存储在光盘中的硬拷贝研究论文按其领域(词汇、社会语言学、字母、方言、语音和语法)进行分类，并检查每个数据的数量。结果表明，每篇论文的数据量都充满了变化，我们发现很难把握一个量的趋势。原因是每一项研究都有不同于其他论文的特定目的。

1. We prepared a preliminary trial version of CD-ROM of Japanese Quantitative papers. We then recruited some monitors and we asked them to evaluate the CD-ROM and to give us some suggestions. We considered some valid and useful usage of the CD-ROM.2. We utilized five Optical Character Reader softwares and put some scanned papers into the softwares in order to evaluate OCR softwares whether they can be practically used in the process of character recognition or not. The result showed that even the most effective software cannot recognize our documents completely. The error level is some percents order. The fact says that OCR softwares are far from practically successful level, and we cannot utilize those softwares as an input method.3. We surveyed hundreds of research papers in each research field, and tried to realize the quantity of data of each paper. We classified hard-copied research papers which will be stored in the CD-ROM according to its field (vocabulary, sociolinguistics, letters, dialect, phonetics, and grammar), and checked the quantity of each data. The result indicated that the quantity of data of each paper is full of variance, and we found it difficult to grasp a tendency of quantity. The reason is that each research has its own specific purpose different from that of other papers.
