On the Utilization of Japanese Literature Databases by SINET

该项目从1994年起三年由国资委资助，完成了国际科研目的。其中一个项目是调查国立日本文学研究所创建的日本数据库从海外利用的可能性。二是进行国外计算机通过Internet直接访问我国数据库的可行性实验。我们在美国、加拿大、英国、法国、意大利等多所研究所或大学进行了调研和实验。德国、澳大利亚、中国、捷克、波兰、匈牙利等。windows的个人电脑与日文版的相互通信已经完全成功。我们确认了SINET的可用性，以便相互交换日文字符。特别是与牛津大学等三家重点机构建立了联合研究。法兰西学院和CETH（人文电子文本中心）。研究了文本数据描述与处理在日语文献中的各种功能。作为世界上第一个结果。通过SGML确认能够定义和描述日本文学文本，并制作了电子文本，如一系列短篇小说，21个唐卡选集等作为计算机数据库和cd - rom。作为范例，我们在WWW上实施了主页，并开始了多媒体数据库的试验服务，在《罗来汉》（彩色）上提供全文和页面图像数据。上述国家的许多研究人员期望并要求将我们的数据库立即投入实际服务。然后，我们与这些人合作，特别是与EAJS，ALLCACH等国际会议合作，组织了一个日本文学研究者名录。我们已经发表了该项目的成果报告。

Three years project from 1994 by the grand-in-aid for international scientific research accomplished the purpose. One object is the investigation of utilizing possibilities from overseas for the Japanese databases created by the National Institute of Japanese Literature. The other is the carrying on feasibility experiments that are the direct accessing to our databases from overseas computers through the SINET (Internet).We investigated and experimented on many institutes or universities, such as USA,Canada, U.K., France, Italy. Deutsche, Australia, China, Czech, Poland, Hungary, etc. Mutual communications by the WINDOW's personal computers with the Japanese versions have been completely successed. We confirmed the availablities of the SINET as for mutual exchanges of the Japanese characters.Particularly, the joint researches have been established between three key institutions, that is, Oxford University. College de France, and CETH (Center for Electronic Texts in the Humanities). It has been investigating the various functions for the text data description and processing on the Japanese literature. As the first results in the world.it has been confirmed to be able to define and describe the Japanese literary text by the SGML,and produced electronic texts, such as a series of short stories, 21 Tanka anthologies, etc.as the computer databases and CD-ROMs.As a case study, we have been implementing the homepage on WWW and started a trial service for multimedia database, having full-texts and page-imaged data on the Narae-hon (colored).Many researchers above countries are expecting and requesting to put our databases into immediate practical services.Then, we have organized a directory on Japanese literary researchers by cooperation with these persons, and particularly the international conferences, such as EAJS,ALLCACH,etc.We have published to the report on the results of this project.
