海内外中文古地图数字化成果述评

A Review of the Digitization Achievements of Chinese Antique Maps at Home and Abroad

20世纪末以来,随着国外古地图数字化工作逐步兴起,国内对古地图数字化技术的引介和探讨也渐趋成熟.研究者和使用者对中文古地图在整理研究和存藏利用等方面的需求,不同程度地推动着古地图数字化的工作.目前海内外的相关成果颇丰,对其进行整理成为中文古地图研究的一项基础工作.通过文献信息检索和网络信息收集等路径对这些成果加以梳理、比对后,发现海内外既有数字化成果虽各有特点,但是在支持人文研究方面均仍有较大不足.借鉴相关研究成果优化分类和重视关联文字、文献的数字化应成为中文古地图数字化工作的改进方向.

Since the end of the 20th century,with the gradual rise of antique map digitization abroad,the introduction and discussion of antique map digitization technology in China has gradually matured.The needs of researchers and users for the sorting,research,storage and utilization of antique Chinese maps have promoted the digitization of antique maps to varying degrees.At present,there are abundant relevant achievements at home and abroad,and sorting them has become a basic work of Chinese antique map research.After sorting out and comparing these results through literature information retrieval and network information collection,it is found that although the existing digital results at home and abroad have their own characteristics,they still have major deficiencies in supporting humanities research.Using related research results to optimize the classification and attach importance to the digitization of related texts and documents should be the direction of improvement for the digitization of antique Chinese maps.
