Outline of Final Research Achievements

We compared major 2 databases for Oracle Bone texts; "Inkyo Bokuji Sourui" (1971) and "Yixu Jiagu Keci Leizuan" (1989). We collected all indexing glyphs (7569 glyphs from "Inkyo Bokuji Sourui", 4499 glyphs from "Yixu Jiagu Keci Leizuan") and made the mapping table without the consideration of their context. The mapped glyphs that could be found in both database are estimated about 2600. However, the glyphs with sufficient popularities (found in the objects more than 10) are estimated about 900. Their identities could be regarded as stable, and ready to include the standard and stabilized core character set. Considering the comparison of 2 databases, it is foundt that the new objects found or published during 1971-1989 have no serious impact with the stability of the character identity.
