中文古籍数字化与知识遮蔽

Digitization of Chinese ancient books and the disguise of knowledge

中文古籍数字化对现代学术进程具有积极作用,但同时可导致学术异化,知识遮蔽是其表征之一。古籍数字化要从海量的古籍中选择处理对象,在这个过程中,一部分古籍被数字化,另一部分则因未被选择而被舍弃,其结果就是那些未被收入数据库的文献成为被遗忘的文献,永远无法被检索,进而影响研究结论的准确性。知识遮蔽是古籍文献数字化利用过程中的共有现象,既是技术问题,也是哲学问题,应引起学界关注和研究。

Digitization of Chinese ancient books plays a can also lead to academic alienation. Disguise of knowledge positive role in the modern academy. But digitization indicates one of its superficial characteristics. In this process, some ancient books are singled out to be digitalized, while other ancient books are not chosen. The result is that the ancient books having not been chosen will inevitably be neglected and can never be compiled into the databases. So the accuracy of research conclusion can be affected because the neglected ancient books can not be retrieved. The disguise of knowledge is a common phenomenon in the process of digitalization of Chinese ancient documents, which is a dilemma in both technology and philosophy. The problem abovementioned is worth studying and the academic circle should pay a great attention to.
