Abstract

As the informationization is spread throughout society, the statistical DB analysis is also being extended to the humanities. This study aims to present the empirical techniques that can check the military examination candidates(武科及第者) in Joseon Dynasty. As a result, even if incomplete, some statistics were calculated by DB query and a new areas for research were also derived in part. However, the raw materials should be ensured in order to apply statistical techniques. This study was possible because a massive military examination candidates had been accumulated. Humanities researchers are a lot of resources possessive. So they reluctant to open the raw data. Research institutions also have this tendency. Recently the government has been actively promoting the government 3.0, public data opening policy. This policy is intended to promote academic research as well as create economic value using the public open data. In the government-run open data portal, there are a variety of resources produced by public institutions. These changes can be a good opportunity for skilled researchers in digital techniques. Then you should know data processing techniques to catch up the opportunity. This paper presents the author's experience, that will help to cope with these changes and make a good result.
