2 Earthquakes are ……. One of the most destructive natural disasters on the globe Some earthquakes have happed at the same place periodically That is, understanding the characteristics of each earthquake is important for prediction and protection Where, When, How (What) Then, integration of physical (geographical, archaeological) and historical (texts) research is essential Collaboration by natural and humanities researchers  Humanities contributions to disaster management Conclusion: High quality comprehensive database has been desired The purpose of the project

3 Purposes of the Projects
Construct new text database of “Historical Earthquake Documents in the Ancient and Medieval Ages in Japan” An interdisciplinary collaboration among seismologists, volcanologists, historians and information scientists High quality comprehensive text Critically examine all the collected documents, select appropriate ones, revise them correctly and reorganize new documents in digital form Compose a seismic intensity database compatible with the Intensity Data Points (IDP) prevailing in Europe

4 Historical Documents - Main Resources -
大日本地震史料 Collection of Historical Documents on Earthquakes in Japan, Edited by Tayama (1904a, b: 2 volumes) 増訂大日本地震史料 Collection of Historical Documents on Earthquakes in Japan, Enlarged and Revised Edition, Edited by Dr. Musha (1941, 1943a, b, 1951: 4 volumes) 新収日本地震史料 Historical Documents on Earthquakes in Japan, New Collection, Edited by Dr. Usami and his colleagues ( : 21 volumes) Those are official national histories, chronicles, private histories, diaries, biographies, essays, memoranda, letters, memoirs, notes, etc.

5 Problems of the Resources
Low reliability Documents were collected without precise examinations and text critiques (second and third sources, thread and thrum ...) Seismologists are difficult critically to read historical documents as they didn’t take any trainings for historical materials Low reliability will lead to wrong seismologic conclusions as seismologists tend to believe written issues Resources are huge but ... Only printed materials Difficult to access (e.g., Out of print) Difficult for researchers to retrieve information Necessity of high quality comprehensive text (multi- media) database has been desired (after recompiling, proofreading and text critiques)

7 Digital Transcription of Resources
Header Record Earthquake Name General Description

8 XML Markup Guidelines All information needed for text critiques and revision works must be preserved Logical elements such as titles, records, sections, etc. are marked-up Editorial notes and revision notes are marked-up Descriptive parts such as rubi and gaiji (external standard characters) are marked-up Layout structures such as the number of lines in a page are NOT marked-up Why XML? Data Portability Coping with Hypermedia

9 Basic Structure of the Classic Earthquake Documents
ClassicEarthquake Root of the document |-Volume+ A volume of historical earthquakes |- Header? Bibliographic information of the volume |- Earthquake+ An earthquake |- Header? Biographic information of the earthquake |- E.ID ID of the earthquake (Must be unique) |- J.Date Date of the earthquake by Japanese calendar |- S.Date Date of the earthquake by European calendar |- E.Description General description of the earthquake |- E.Sources+ Information of a material of the earthquake |- Header? Bibliographic information of the material |- E.ID ID of the earthquake (Must be unique) |- Source.ID ID of the material (Must be unique) |- Source.Record+ Minimum unit on the earthquake information |- Record.ID ID of the record (Must be unique) |- E.ID ID of the earthquake (Must be unique) |- J.Date Date of the event by Japanese calendar |- S.Date Date of the event by European calendar |- Record.Description Contents of the record

19 Conclusion “Historical Earthquake Documents in the Ancient Japan” has created and opened as a database A seismic intensity database is under construction. We need a lot of data/knowledge to forecast and manage earthquake disasters. Resource Sharing System that integrate data based on space, time and subjects are essential.
