中国大陆地区古籍数字化问题及对策

Problems and Countermeasures of the Digitalization of Ancient Books in China's Mainland

对近三十年来中国大陆地区古籍数字化的主要成果进行总结,指出古籍数字化工作应从简单的文献揭示向有序的知识组织发展,而由于前阶段工作的无序导致该发展过程极为艰难。本文通过数据分析与实证调研,分析这一现象出现的制约因素:数字化产品质量良莠不齐,大量数据难以共享;古籍数字化的认识和定位不准确,基础性建设滞后。带来潜在的风险包括:古籍原典被损坏的风险增加;数据垃圾增多;古籍数据灾难发生的几率增大。提出了突破该瓶颈的对策:提升对古籍数字化的认知度;确立统一协调的领导机构;加强古籍数字化的基础性建设。图1。表4。参考文献33。

This paper summarizes the main achievements of the digitization of ancient books in the past three decades in Chinese mainland, and points out that the digitization of ancient books should develop from simple literature revelation to orderly development of knowledge organizations, however, due to the disordered work at the first stage, this development process is extremely difficult. This paper makes an analysis of the constraint factors of this phenomenon by means of data analysis and empirical research as follows： the quality of digital products varies greatly, resulting in the difficulty of sharing large amounts of data; inaccurate understanding and positioning of the digitization of ancient books; basic construction is lagging behind. These problems could bring about the following risks： increasing risk of the originals of ancient books being damaged; increased junk data; large probability of the data disaster of ancient books. In order to break through the bottleneck, we should take the following measures： enhancing awareness of the digitization of ancient books; establishing a unified and coordinated leading agency; strengthening the basic construction of the digitization of ancient books. 1fig. 4tabs. 33refs.
