Abstract

This paper focused on organizing various information about conceptual data modeling for the building of a more extended range of 'Yeohang Culture' database based on the data model of Yeohang Literature proposed by ‘Kim Ji-sun(2019), A Study on the Design and Analysis of the Human Network in 19th-century Collections of Biographies of the Commoner Class(Yeohangjeongijip) -Focusing on Hosanoesa, Ihyanggyeonmunnok, and Huijoilsa’, a full-fledged digital humanities study in the field of Yeohang Literature. Data modeling refers to the process of designing a data model as a kind of blueprint for representing objects existing in the real world as data in the digital environment. Since the analog environment as a physical reality and the digital environment as an electronic representation have fundamentally different properties, the transforming an inseparable object of reality into a segmented one in the digital environment is not simple. When these concerns are combined with the humanistic awareness, the process of 'conceptual data modeling' as a method of conceptualizing objects inevitably entails complicated reasoning. On the other hand, the data modeling process based on micro reading and interpretation of humanities texts and clear humanistic awareness is the basis for creating sophisticated humanities data and the basic clue for enabling varied digital humanities study from it. As part of a model for organizing and portraying the world of 'Yeohang Culture', in which a large amount lot of information is in a complicated relationship through a variety of records, as three-dimensional data in a digital environment, The Class designed through this research includes ‘Person’, ‘Community’, ‘Group’, ‘Writing’, ‘Object’, ‘Book’, ‘Place’, ‘Site’, ‘Event’, ‘Clan’ and ‘Office’. The representative Relationship defined as semantic links between entities belonging to individual classes includes ‘A author B’, ‘A writer B’, ‘A calligrapher B’, ‘A painter B’, ‘A mentions B’, ‘A contains B’ and ‘A member B’. As a medium that comprehensively connects knowledge related to ‘Yeohang culture’, The Class and Relationship can be an effective channel that bridges the barriers between majors such as Sino-Korean Literature, Social History, Art History and Cultural History. In the future, a comprehensive discussion-research that crosses the fields of Literature-History-Art should be conducted in order to compile a 'Yeohang Culture' database that can extensively look into the status consciousness and artistic activities of the commoners in the late Joseon period through the literature directly or indirectly related to them. it is hoped that the contents summarized in this study might be meaningfully used as a basic clue for such a move.
