| Research Abstract |
Critical texts of legal documents in Ming period selected from Huizhou historical documents were completed by Iwai Shigeki and Afeng, and these texts were published both as a printed book and as electronic text on the Web. Because the published facsimile editions of documents lacked of distinctness, in September of 2006 Iwai and Afeng made an intensive investigation of original documents in the library of Institute of History, Chinese Academy of Social Science, and in the First Historical Archives of China. Also we obtained a clear photocopy of some documents owned by the Historical Resource Centre of Nanjing University thanks to the aid by Professor Fan Jinmin, who is our foreign collaborate researcher. Afeng made a critical text of Bupingminggao 不平鳴稿 owned by Nanking University and this text also was included in our publication. Carrying out these works made the text more qualified and reliable and allowed us to add some bibliographic notes about document : owner, title given in Clas

Iwai tagged the text data as XML document. This XML document was transformed to get the both of data for printing and of HTML document for publishing on the Web by applying two other XSLT stylesheets. This tagged XML document is used in the Web application which provides searching and classifying of documents by remote users. Coding of the stylesheet and Web application was completed by Iwai. Two introductions written by Iwai and Afeng were added to the book completed as Zhou Shaoquan, Afeng and Iwai Shigeki ed., The Legal Documents in Ming China : revised texts with introduction. For original sources consist of handwritten documents, we are careful about forms of each character distinct by omission of stroke(s) or variation of element(s). Using many form variations of each character, it is needed to provide a function to identify the relations of characters in varied form. This function implemented as a Java class is used within the servlet which provide network users searching and reading of the text. Less
