古籍数字资料应用与史学研究

Digitizing Ancient Books and Historical Research

古籍数字化与当代先进的信息技术的结合日益紧密,古籍数字资料在史学研究中的应用也日趋密切。检索结果和文献出处一次性输出为一个文件,是优秀古籍检索软件应当具有的功能。对于检索到的数字资料,如何进一步归类整理,如何从海量信息中获取知识发现,是数字资料应用中带有普遍性的新问题。逻辑概念的分类、归纳、排比、筛选和分析综合等,非文字处理软件所长,可以使用电子表格、数据库或其他文本软件与文字处理软件协同工作。当然,检索不能代替研究,将扎实的学术功底与先进的电脑网络知识相结合,才能充分利用与享受信息技术带来的方便快捷,提高学术研究的效率和质量。

The process of digitizing ancient books by integrating more and more advanced information technology is occurring more frequently in historical research. Suitable ancient books document retrieval software should be able to output the literature searching results with the corresponding reference. But the searching results beg further questions and possibilities such as how to further archive, and how to increase the relevancy of returned results to a search. This article gives some discussion about this topic in association with personal digitizing application experience,and try to throw out a minnow to catch a whale. The classification, generalization, parallelism, selection, analysis and integration of logical concept are not the strength of word process software. We may also use excel, database, and other text software to work with. However, document retrieval cannot replace research, to take advantage of the information technology and improve the efficiency and quality of academic research, we need to integrate the well-knit academic knowledge with the adept computer ＆network skills.
