A study of Publishing Culture in East Asia Group G: "Publishing Information and Cataloging Studies"

协调组G有两个截然不同的方向：一个是历史悠久的传统，非常强烈地以汉学目录研究为导向，包括涉及木版印刷书籍和书目等相关元素的领域，以及与图书（中国经典）数字化相关的领域，或者更确切地说，与中国经典数据库架构相关的问题。这一明显的潜在矛盾给G协调组带来了挑战。换句话说，为了“研究东亚出版文化”这一最终目标，G协调组需要在各个领域深入了解，寻找并提出解决矛盾的办法。为此，举行了2003年11月的东京会议、2003年12月G集团共同主办的九州会议和2004年12月的大阪研讨会。在东京会议上，在图书编目领域，对目录分类中未建立的要素提出了澄清和政策建议，而在……方面的具体问题，更多涉及到中国典籍数据库架构，我们在信息领域进行了考虑。在九州会议上，提出了关于出版关于日本国内外大量资料的资料和研究的报告。在大阪会议上，提出了关于中国典籍数字化、文本处理、电子出版和本体的问题，加深了对信息领域的现状和问题、信息设备、数据库和其他各个领域的演变的认识，并确定了广泛领域的信息状况。然而，在这些研究会议中，图书编目领域和信息领域所涉及的专业化程度极其深厚，两者之间临时合作的困难再次被认识到。并不是说这两个领域是相互排斥的，而是承认有足够的机会为这两个领域找到相互补充的系统，尽管每个领域都基于各自的专业。少

Coordination Group G has two distinct directions: a time-honored tradition very strongly oriented towards Sinology catalog studies including fields that deal with related elements such as woodblock -print books and bibliographies, and fields related to the digitalization of books (Chinese classics), or rather issues related to the architecture of Chinese classics databases.This apparent underlying contradiction posed challenges for Coordination Group G. In other words, in preparation for the final goal of studying East Asian publishing culture", Group G was required to gain deeper knowledge in various fields and search for and propose resolutions to contradictions. Achieving this, the Nov. 2003 Tokyo meeting, the Dec. 2003 Kyusyu meeting jointly sponsored by Group G, and the Dec. 2004 Osaka Seminar were held. At the Tokyo meeting, in the field of book cataloging, clarifications and policies were suggested for non-established elements in catalog classifications, while concrete issues in … More volved in Chinese classics database architecture we are considered in the information field. At the Kyusyu meeting, reports were given regarding the publication of information and studies on a large amount of data concerning Japan, both domestically and abroad. At the Osaka meeting issues with the digitalization of Chinese classics, text processing, electronic publishing and ontology were raised, knowledge was deepened regarding the current status of and problems with the information fields, the evolution of information equipment, databases, and various other fields, and the status of information in a wide range of areas was ascertained. However, throughout these research meetings, the level of specialization involved in the book cataloging fields and information fields was extremely deep, and the difficulties of temporary collaboration between the two was again recognized. Not to say that the two fields are mutually exclusive, but rather that it was acknowledged that there is ample opportunity for finding mutually complimentary system for the two fields, although each are based on their respective specializations.
