Summary: | 碩士 === 元智大學 === 電機與資訊工程研究所 === 81 === ome of ancient Chinese books contain a lot of commentaries
formed a large hypertext networks which are very different from
those networks formed by dictionaries, encyclopaedias, and
textbooks. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a mechanism
to represent the hypertext of ancient Chinese books in
database, and to design a system to convert these books
automatically to hypertext. In the thesis, we first analyze the
characteristics of the hypertext of ancient Chinese books to
correctly represent this hypertext. The characteristics include
the structures of these books,the hypergraph abstract model,
the navigation features, and the overlap of hyperlinks. After
the analysis, we use the object-oriented data model to
represent this hypertext in database and apply SGML to markup
the ancient Chinese books so that the conversion from text to
hypertext is made possible. Finally, we develop a converter to
convert ancient Chinese books to hypertext. To verify the
feasibility of the above methodology, we apply the above method
to a Chinese books Shang-shu. The result shows that the method
does very satisfactory in converting ancient Chinese books to
hypertext on the assumption that the different commentary books
are based on the same common text. The contributions of this
thesis include: (1) providing a good environment for the
experts of the ancient Chinese books so that they can reduce
the efforts for collecting data and spend more time in doing
creative works, (2) purposing the hypertext characteristics for
the ancient Chinese books, (3) purposing the data structure for
the hypertext of the ancient Chinese books and a method for
automatically conversion from text to hypertext.
