Application Paths and Development Strategies of Digital Humanities in the Field of Ancient Books Collation
Digital humanities have application value in the fields of ancient books research,promotion and collation.But from the results,it is more practical and extensive in the field of collating ancient books.Combining with the traditional paradigm,there are two application paths of digital humanities in the field of ancient books collation.The first one is the data-driven reproduction of methods for collating ancient books,including entity preservation,text restoration,content collation and semantic interpretation.The second is the data-driven reuse of the results in collating ancient books,which involves using information technology to process the data of digitized results in collating ancient books such as bibliographies,annotations,encyclopedias and dictionaries,and to explore their potential academic value.Combining with the new paradigm of collating ancient books in the digital environment,the third application path of digital humanities is the knowledge-based data organization,which is manifested in the digital collation of ancient books with special topics,special classes and special books,particularly characterized by the historical and geographical analysis and visualization of spatiotemporal data,as well as the social relationships and visualization of character data.This article provides an academic history review of the research progress of digital humanities in the field of collating ancient books from the above three paths.This paper finds that the data-driven reproduction of methods for collating ancient books shows obvious imbalance.Some of the studies have problems such as insufficient quantity,low degree of intelligence and low generalization ability.There are few types of the data-driven reuse of the results in collating ancient books.And the deeper academic function and utilization value of the research object are usually neglected.The knowledge-based data organization of ancient books'original text has not yet been correlated.On this basis,the paper explores the development strategies for each path.Firstly,the data-driven reproduction of methods for collating ancient books should strengthen the infrastructure construction of ancient book databases,and also comply with the academic paradigm of ancient books collation.Secondly,the data-driven reuse of the results in collating ancient books should expand the type of the research object,and determine the research direction according to the application value of the research object.Finally,the knowledge-based data organization should integrate resources,and use technical methods,such as ontology construction,semantic association and knowledge mapping,to construct the knowledge system of a certain type of ancient books,so as to complete the overall"puzzle"of the knowledge system of ancient China.4 figs.72 refs.
