The Basic Study for the Construction of Political and Social Data Base of the Middle Eastern Core Area

本研究旨在为中东核心区政治社会数据库建设进行基础性研究。中东核心区是指由埃及、土耳其和大叙利亚（叙利亚、黎巴嫩、约旦和巴勒斯坦）组成的历史核心区。我们从基本的法律、行政和议会文件（如官方公报、法规书、议会记录和政府年鉴等）中选择合适的文件进行数据库构建。，以包括土耳其和大叙利亚在内的现代埃及和奥斯曼帝国为研究对象，并试图利用这些文献的索引和其他研究来源，输入这些文献中必要的关键词信息。本研究的主要成果是建立了《奥斯曼帝国规约书》（Duster）中的法律法规索引数据库，以及建立了《埃及君主议会记录》（madhabit mails al-nuwwab和madhabit mails al-shuyukh）数据库并在网站上发布。我们还试探性地对奥斯曼帝国年鉴和埃及官方公报（al-waqa'i' al-misriya）的部分内容进行了数字化，并对投降问题的基本历史文献进行了调查，为这些来源的数据库构建做准备。

Main results of our study are the formation of data base of index of laws and regulations in the Statute Book of the Ottoman Empire (Duster) and the formation of data base Parliament Records in Monarchical Egypt (madhabit mails al-nuwwab and madhabit mails al-shuyukh)and its publication on website. We also tentatively tried to digitalize some parts of the Almanacs of the Ottoman Empire and the Official Gazette of Egypt (al-waqa'i' al-misriya) and and conducted a survey of basic historical documents of the problem of Capitulation for the preparation of data base formation of these sources.
