A Feasibility Research on Text Data Description Rule and Database for Japanese Classical Literature.

一种称为KOKIN的文本数据描述规则（TDR）基于SGML的概念，日本古典文学文本研究者们研究并发展出了一条（KOKubungakuINformation）规则，许多日本文学文本都采用了这条规则进行描述，如岩波出版的《日本古典文学大纲》（100卷，约600部作品），东海道讲故事大纲（20卷），和21选日本诗集，唐卡。然后，这些数据进行了整理，在国立日本文学研究所（NIJL）的主机上，使用新开发的数据模型，开发并实现了全文数据库。部分数据还分别组织到工作站和作为本地数据库服务器的PC机上，特别是利用工作站或PC机上的文本处理系统，开发了《讲故事大纲》全文数据库的CD-ROM。从文献的来源和传播情况来看，要想以某一文献的单一文本作为数据准备的对象是极其困难的。为了在多个传送的版本之间相互参照，也许有必要编制数据库，其中包括大多数这些传送的版本。出于这个原因，一个校订，其中一些传输版本的安排和组合，是可用的。因此，修订文本数据库对于日本文献研究是必要的。此外，还评估了SGML在TDR上的可用性。DTD（数据类型定义）是为与SGML一起使用而创建的。然后，将数据存储到数据库中，并由SGML系统提供的字符串搜索工具（例如Mark-it）使用。

A Text data Description Rule (TDR) called KOKIN (KOKubungaku INformation) rule has been researched and developed for Japanese classical literature texts, based on the same concept as the SGML.By this rule many Japanese literary texts have been described, such as the Outline of Japanese classical literature published by Iwanami (100 volumes.approx.600 works), the Outline of storytelling by Tokyou-do (20 volumes), and 21 Selections of the Anthology of Japanese Poems, Tanka.Then, these data are organized, developed and implemented as the full-text database using new developed data model to the main frame computer of the National Institute of Japanese Literature (NIJL). And, parts of these data are also organized and implemented to the Workstations and PCs as the local database server, respectively.Particulaly, CD-ROMs for full-text databases on the Outline of Storytelling are developed with text handling systems for the Workstations or PCs. One of these systems has been put to practical use, named as Media-Finder system.It is extremely difficult to take only one text of a certain literature as the subject of data preparation, from the circumstance of its origin and transmissions. For cross-reference among multiple transmitted versions, it is perhaps necessary to prepare databases that include most of these transmitted versions. For this reason, a recension, in which some transmitted versions are arranged and combined, is usable. So, the recension text databases are necessary for research in Japanese literature.Besides, availability on the TDR by SGML was evaluated. DTD (Data Type Definition) are created for use with SGML about the Anthology of Tanka. Then, the data were stored to database and used by a character string search tool provided on SGML system (ex.Mark-it).
