| Research Abstract |
There is great potential for use of the computer, though the Internet, as a fundamental medium for not only the exchange of the huge body of data in field of Asian studies, but also as a method of enhancing the quality of such data. However, there is concern not only about the present inadequacy of the support environment in terms of transmission capabilities, but that the situation many further degenerate as the Internet comes into gradually wider usage by the general public. It is therefore vitally necessary that an international mechanism for further promotion of international collaboration and cooperation for research concerning disseminating such information.
The Workshop was convened at the Zinbunken on November 14-15 for the purpose of in-depth exploration and discussion of matters related to the encoding, collection and transmission of ekanji and CJK-character-based textual materials within the computer medium. With this goal in mind, we attempted to bring to Kyoto the leading experts from around the world in the area of Chinese characters and their computerization. These scholars from outside of Japan included two from the United States, three from Taiwan, and three from Korea. In addition, the workshop was attended by many researchers from Kyoto University as well as from other universities and research centers in Japan. The group was first addressed by Prof. Lewis Lancaster from the University of California at Berkeley. His talk focused mainly on a brief history and the future goals of the Pacific Neighborhood Consortium (PNC) and a T3 cable connection between some of the major institutions like NACSIS in the Pacific Run. The next presentation was made by Dr. C.C.Hsieh of Academia Sinica, who introduced us to the new project he and Dr. Simon Lin are administering at their institution for the digitization of abroad range of research materials in the humanities and the natural sciences.
