joint Study of Global Sharing of digital Assets of Scientific and Cultural Information

在该项目中，通过网络协作、互访和国际研讨会，与多国学者合作，就科学文化数字资产的全球共享开展了实证研究。2001年最突出的成就之一是与教科文组织共同主办了东京数字丝绸之路研讨会。330名参与者，包括30名来自国外的参与者，参加了关于一个名为数字丝绸之路的新项目的介绍和讨论，该项目以文化科学和信息技术的融合为特色。研讨会为期三天：第一天是主旨演讲和特邀讲座；第二天是关于丝绸之路研究现状的报告和海报会议；最后一天是关于未来愿景的辩论和专家小组讨论。研讨会取得了巨大的成功。Wain8是由Nil和一所泰国大学轮流主办的年度国际研讨会的第八次，在Karuizawa举行。今年，该讲习班是与多媒体注释(MMA)讲习班联合举办的。与会者讨论了国际合作研究的现状以及今后如何开展这项研究。深入讨论了与美国、法国、泰国和越南的国际研究合作成果，以及密歇根大学格罗斯基教授对注释的研究。关于数据库系统的开发，在法国格勒诺布尔举办了一期讲习班。为正在进行的针对日语、英语、法语和泰语的计划确定了一个基本架构。该项目的成果预计将纳入数字丝绸之路项目。

In this project, empirical research was carried out on global sharing of scientific and cultural digital assets in cooperation with multinational scholars through network collaboration, mutual visits, and international workshops. One of the most outstanding achievements in 2001 was the co-hosting of the Tokyo Symposium for Digital Silk Roads with UNESCO. Three hundred and thirty participants, including 30 from abroad, took part in presentations and discussions on a new project called Digital Silk Roads, which features the integration of cultural sciences and information technology. The symposium ran for three days : keynote address and invited lectures on the first day ; reports on the current status of Silk Roads studies and a poster session on the second day ; and debate on future visions and panel discussions by experts on the last day. The symposium was a great success. WAINS 8, the eighth of an annual international workshop alternately hosted by Nil and a Thai university, took place at Karuizawa. This year, the workshop was jointly held with the MultiMedia Annotation (MMA) Workshop. Its participants discussed the current status of the international collaborative research as well as how to proceed with it in the future. In-depth discussion took place over results of international research cooperation with the United States, France, Thailand, and Vietnam and the research on annotation by Prof. Grosky from the University of Michigan. On the development of the DB system, online multi-lingual dictionary, a workshop was held in Grenoble in France. A basic architecture was determined for an ongoing scheme targeting the Japanese, English, French, and Thai languages. Results of this project are expected to be incorporated in the Digital Silkroads project.
