| Research Abstract |
In Japanese archaeology a limited list of terms in Japanese and English has been available, but a comprehensive thesaurus in Japanese had yet to be created. Therefore we under took this project, beginning with terms related to the Kofun (Tumulus) Age.
Using Ohtsuka and Kobayashi's Kofun Jiten (The Age of Tumuli), we compiled a list of technical terms and made it available on the Internet. At the same time we opened a bulletin board using Hiki and invited additions and corrections by interested specialists. Due to insufficient PR, there were disappointingly few responses. Changing tactics, we personally contacted archaeologists and received some additional input. This enabled us to put out an improved thesaurus.
Respective Internet addresses for the announcement about the thesaurus, the thesaurus itself, and the bulletin board for additions and as follows :
Announcement : http://db-www.naist.jp/hiki/ArchInfo/?FrontPage
Thesaurus : http://db-www.naist.jp/~uemura/ArchInfo/KohunThesaurus.pdf
Bulletin board : http://db-www.naist.jp/hiki/ArchInfo/?ArcheThesaurusBBS
The thesaurus address contains entries organized by category (large to small) and also in Japanese alphabetical order.
