북한 인문학 데이터 아카이브와 디지털 인문학 교육: 빅데이터 혁신융합대학 교과목 개발을 중심으로

Abstract

This article summarizes the experience of creating the North Korean Humanities Data Archive(NKHDA) and using it as a platform for digital humanities education. The relevant information is organized in four parts. First, the North Korean Humanities Data Archive(NKHDA) was designed and created based on the Semantic Data Processing methodology to effectively represent the three-dimensional nature of academic information and the complex network of knowledge network between them. Second, as part of the Ministry of Education's Innovative Convergence University project, the College of Humanities at Seoul National University(SNU) has established and operated digital humanities education courses. Among them, 'Semantic Data Compilation' was introduced and launched as a part of the 'Big Data Historical Information' curriculum. Third, the course 'Semantic Data Compilation' is operated in conjunction with the North Korean Humanities Data Archive(NKHDA). The course is designed to provide students with domain knowledge on North Korean humanities and modern Korean history, as well as semantic data processing as a digital humanities methodology. Fourth, by accessing knowledge about North Korean humanities and Korean modern history on the web, students taking the 'Semantic Data Compilation' course are able to move from a passive position of consuming relevant knowledge in the analog environment to an active experience of producing and distributing humanities knowledge in the digital environment. In addition, students are able to see that North Korean academia exists in an international network of knowledge, both synchronously and publicly, and understand the specificity of North Korean humanities as it developed in the context of the Cold War and the division of Korea.
