The Study of Basic Method for the Formation of Data Base on the Modern Arabic Script Zone

本研究的目的是开发现代阿拉伯文字区历史文献数据库的形成方法。阿拉伯字母区是指一个文化世界，阿拉伯字母通常用于不同的语言，如阿拉伯语，波斯语和奥斯曼土耳其语。首先，我们从国会记录、官方公报、法律法规汇编、政府年鉴、地形图等基本历史文献中选择合适的文献进行数据库形成，然后开始对这些文献进行数字化，并利用其索引和其他研究资源输入这些文献中关键词的必要信息。最后，为了数据库的形成，我们尝试设计了这些关键词的阿拉伯字母检索系统。我们完成了奥斯曼政府公报（takvim-i vegayi '）和埃及议会记录（madhabit majlis al-nuwwab和madhabit majlis al-shuyukh）数据库形成的筹备阶段。此外，我们还建立了一个数据库，在试点版本的阿里穆巴拉克的Khitat（新的埃及历史地形），一个著名的和重要的历史数据源，为现代埃及历史研究。

This study aims at developing the method of database formation on historical documents of the modern Arabic Script Zone. The Arabic Letter Zone means a cultural world where the Arabic letter is commonly used in different languages, such as Arabic, Persian, and Ottoman Turkish. At first we selected suitable documents for database formation from basic historical documents such as parliament records, official gazettes, collections of laws and regulations, government almanacs, topographies et.al. Then we started to digitalize these documents and to input necessary information of key words in these documents by using their indices and other research sources. Finally for the formation of database we tried to design search system of these key words in Arabic letter. We finished preparatory stages of the formation of database of the Ottoman Official Gazette (takvim-i vegayi') and the Egyptian Parliament Record (madhabit majlis al-nuwwab and madhabit majlis al-shuyukh). Also we constructed a database in pilot version of Ali Mubarak's Khitat (the new Egyptian historical topography), a famous and important historical data source for the study of modern Egyptian history.
