| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this research is to construct a system that allows multiple users to collaboratively transcribe historical materials online. Significantly, by ensuring compliance with international standards such as IIIF, an international standard for image sharing, and TEI, which stipulates structured rules for humanities resources, we have developed a versatile and internationally applicable system. Utilizing this system, we have associated diverse textual data with images about “The Tale of Genji” and launched the “Digital Tale of Genji” website, aiming to facilitate scholarly research on the text. Furthermore, we have released the “Digital Tale of Genji (AI Image Search)”, which provides features that utilize Kuzushiji OCR and edit distance to automatically recommend images of manuscripts and editions with similar textual data.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究はIIIFおよびTEIなどの国際規格に準拠した、オンライン上での史料翻刻システムの開発により、人文情報学分野の発展に寄与した。また多様なテキストデータと画像を統合することで、「デジタル源氏物語」ウェブサイトの公開など、学術研究基盤の強化に貢献した。さらにくずし字OCRの利用、およびテキストデータが類似する写本・版本の画像を自動的に推奨する機能の組み合わせにより、歴史資料の新しい活用方法を提案した。デジタルアーカイブ学会と情報処理学会から評価されたこれらの取り組みは、歴史資料へのアクセスを容易とし、国際的な学術研究を促進する。
