Development of High School Textbook Data Base System

对于每年有50多万学生参加的国家中心考试的年度准备工作来说，重要的是考试的内容符合国家课程规定的领域。在这个项目中，为了便于准备，我们开发了一个数据检索系统的原型，称为HIS TEXDB(High School Text Data Base，高中文本数据库)，它允许我们搜索和检索所有日本出版的高中教科书中包含的感兴趣的单词。他的TEXDB由三个子系统组成，即1)文本输入支持系统2)索引系统3)数据检索系统在这个项目中，开发了两个原型：一个用于生物学，一个用于世界历史，得到了NCUE考试委员会成员的高度评价，未来希望该系统与现有的入学考试数据库相连接。

For the annual preparation of The National Center Examination which is taken by more than half a million students each year, it is important that the contents of the test is well in the domain specified by the national curriculum. In this project, in order to facilitate the preparation, we developed a prototype of a data retrieval system called His TexDB (High School Text Data Base) which allows us to search and retrieve any the words of interest contained in al the high school text books published in Japan. His TexDB consists of three sub systems, namely,1) Text input support system2) Indexing system3) Data retrieval system In this project, developed two prototypes : one for biology and one for world history, which were highly evaluated by the members of the test writing committee of NCUEE.In the future, it is hoped that this system is linked to the existing entrance examination data base.
