A Cultural Anthropological Database on the Ainu of the Saru River Region

已编制了一个数据库，其中载有阿伊努人书目和每本书内的人类学资料。使用北海道大学计算机中心的自适应数据库系统（ADABAS）。在目前的项目中，对萨鲁河地区阿伊努人的443份记录进行了分析，并输入了计算机。在每一个记录中定义了36个主题，包括研究的年份，重建的年份和文化材料纲要（OCM）的人类学类别，使用排序程序，列出了1300年至1987年期间萨鲁河地区阿伊努文化的记录清单。研究表明，尽管许多研究集中在1850年至1950年阿伊努文化的重建上，但出版物的数量一直在不断增加。因此，许多关于阿伊努文化的信息，包括食物追求，社会组织，宗教信仰和习俗，在这些年里都是可用的。然而，这种类型的信息减少后，1900年由于破坏阿伊努文化。此后，新类型的数据增加，包括剥削活动、商业和工业组织、社会问题、健康和福利以及教育，为阿伊努人不断变化的文化提供了证据。

A Database Containing an Ainu Bibliography and anthropological information within each text has been compiled. The Adaptable Database System (ADABAS) of the Hokkaido University Computer Center was used. For the current project, 443 records on the Ainu of the Saru River Region were analysed and fed into the computer. In each record 36 topics were defined, including the years of research, the years of reconstruction and the anthropological categories for the outline of cultural materials (OCM).Using a sorting program, a list of records on Ainu culture of the Saru River Region during the period 1300 to 1987 was presented. It is revealed that the number of publications has been continually increasing up to the present time,though many researches focused on the reconstruction of Ainu culture during 1850 to 1950. So, much information on Ainu culture, including food quest, social organization, and religious beliefs and practices,was available during these years. However, this type of information decreased after 1900 due to destruction of the Ainu culture. After that, new types of data increased including exploitative activities, business and industrial organization, social problems, health and welfare, and education providing evidence of the changing culture of the Ainu.
