실크로드 문화지도 DB 구축 시론

Abstract

This paper is an introduction to the project that constructs an electronic cultural map of the Silk Road with the support of the Korea Research Foundation(KRF). This research project aims at extracting the cultural elements of the Silk Road and Data Basing them into digital materials and creating electronic maps based on them. By introducing a historical geography approach by using information system as map interface, it is going to prepare basic data to explore new possibilities of studying Silk Road culture. This is an introduction to the recent issue of fusion methodology, which aims at reaffirming UNESCO's efforts to promote inter-cultural interaction and his dialogue through the theme of Silk Road Culture. In order to develop academic research in Central Asia, this project is planning to secure basic data by introducing new digital anthropological methodologies. This was designed to provide various visual effects of maps made from dots and lines through the establishment of XML(eXtensible Markup Language) DB, HGL(Historical Geographic Layers Set) DB, and Map Space DB of text material, as well as various visual effects such as art, music languages, religions etc. Through this process, we want to provide integrated information that will not only provide visual information, but also provide historical and cultural information on a single map. By building various databases with this purpose, the academic community wanted to provide accurate and systematic information necessary for Silk Road research, and opened the door to its potential for expanded development. Based on an attempt to build a database through the implementation of the methodology presented in this study, we would like to give that meaning to the extent that we have shown the potential for a new convergence of research in this field in the future.
