《天文学名词》数据库新版网站设计与实现

Design and Implementation of a New Version of the Website "Glossary of Astronomical Terms"

《天文学名词》数据库网站是天文学名词审定委员会开展名词审定工作和为广大用户提供名词查询检索以及其它相关服务的网络平台。随着名词审定工作的不断推进和广大用户对名词数据库功能需求的不断增加,原有的网络平台从功能和信息量上都无法满足当前的需求。《天文学名词》数据库新版网站借助成熟的数据库和网络技术,围绕名词的征集、审定、发布、查询检索等环节,充分实现了广大用户和天文学名词审定委员会所需要的功能,提供了更加丰富的信息。介绍了新版数据库及网站的设计原则、实现方法,并从功能需求出发着重介绍后台数据库和用户界面的设计与实现。《天文学名词》数据库网站是一个典型的由数据库驱动的简单网络应用系统,本文所涉及的工作和介绍的经验将为类似应用系统的开发提供切实可行的参考。

The website ＂ Glossary of Astronomical Terms＂ is an online platform for the Astronomical Terminology Committee of the Chinese Astronomical Society （ATCC） to officially approve astronomical terms and to provide public query/search or related services of these terms. With the progress of ATCC＇ s approving work and increasing requirements from users on the functions of the database, the original website is no longer sufficient for these functions and information amounts. We design and develop a new version of the website with mature database and network technologies. The new version covers the entire process of establishing astronomical terminology, i.e. term collection, approving, release, query, and use. The new version satisfies requirements from users and the ATCC. implementation methods of the new version. Following the details of the design and implementation of the We describe in the paper design principles and an analysis of the requirements, we emphatically give backstage database and user interface. The website ＂Glossary of Astronomical Terms＂ is a typical simple database-driven network application system. Work and experiences as described in the paper provide practical references for similar systems.
