⽂本地理資訊系統與運⽤

Textual Geographic Information System and Applications

指導教授 : 項潔

摘要


在傳統⼈⽂研究⽅法中,閱讀⼤量的研究素材,藉各種⽅式記錄、構思、分 析及觀察研究議題,是⼈⽂研究必經的過程。其中將研究素材還原到原本發⽣的 時間與空間中並持續蒐集各種資料,是發現⽂本脈絡及觀察探索議題的重要過程。 在以往的研究裡,關於⽂本地理資訊的整理,須要⼈⽂學者與GIS專家的合 作才能達成。本研究則在數位⼈⽂理論架構下提出⼀套⽂本空間化的處理流程: TEMDA (Text-Mapping Display and Analysis)。透過此流程整合⽂本標記⼯具、個 ⼈⽂本資料庫及⽂本地理資訊系統,⼈⽂學者可以將⽂本中的標記詞彙與空間聯 結,且呈現在各時期的地圖上,以觀察、過濾、分析等⽅法找尋⽂本中的空間脈 絡。⽂本地理資訊系統可以同時呈現⽂本及地圖,且在研究過程中提供不同程度 的空間觀察。 透過空間觀察⽂本⾮常直覺,可以由資料分佈位置及形狀找出潛在的問題意 識。本系統除了呈現⽂本的空間脈絡外,並可透過時間與空間串連各種資源,如 歷史⼈物、天災、氣候…等。透過時空脈絡功能,⼈⽂學者觀察研究⽂本的同時 也可得知週遭的輔助資訊。因此愈多參考資料的累積,逐漸將⽂本地理資訊系統 建構成專屬的⼈⽂空間環境。但在呈現空間資料之前,⽂本標記是⼀個成本⾼且 費時的步驟。本研究針對地理⽂本提供全⽂檢索機制,讓⽂本在未標記前就能進 ⾏空間上的全⽂檢索及呈現地理分佈。 透過本研究的創建,希望能夠解決⼈⽂研究中⽂本空間呈現問題,加上地理 ⽂本檢索可以在空間脈絡上探索問題、找尋可能的研究⽅向,同時使⽤時空整合 ⽂本外的重要資源,以提供⼀個完整的⼈⽂研究⿃瞰研究平台。

並列摘要


Most of the existing GIS approaches assume that a specific text is given, and provide its geographical information on a map. Our approach allows a humanist to manipulate the spatial information in texts and render them in historical GIS. Through interactions such as search or filter, the humanist can manipulate the data and their spatial presentation/distribution at her own will, thus providing a much more effective and integrated way to utilize spatial information in humanities research. This research provides a platform for humanists to work with and observe spatial information in embedded in texts. It integrates markup tools, personal text databases and textual geographic information systems (GIS). Through the implementation of a textual markup conversion tool, it can produce structural data such as place name and other tags from textual data. The resulting chart can be manipulated by the user and be used to observe spatial distribution and relevance in the GIS. In order to leverage existing tools, we have developed our system utilizing two of the most popular tools for digital humanities in Sinology: MARKUS, an annotation tool for historical documents, and DocuSky, a personal environment for digital humanities research. On this basis, we have built a textual geographic information system that we call DocuGIS. Humanities scholars can link the marked tags in their own text with spatial information and present them on maps of different periods to observe, filter, analyze and find the spatial context in the texts. At the same time, various resources, such as Chinese historical figures, Chinese historical natural disasters, and Chinese historical climate, can be linked through time and space. In geographic texts, humanities scholars can use keywords search to observe the spatial distribution and shape of eligible conditions to identify potential research problems.
