| Popis: | 97 During the dominant time of the Ching Dynasty and Japan (1683-1945), the development and operation of lands was the main social and economic activity in Taiwan. Consequently, there are a large number of land deeds leaved, which are contracted by local resident in private. These land deeds in that time was the only proof of land ownership and today they become vital material to study the development history of Taiwan. The acquisition, transfer and division of lands over time have brought about the relationships among the land deeds. Using these relationships, we can better make use of the land deeds which are in big quantity. However, these land deeds scattered are collected and digitalized by different organizations into many corpuses. It’s very hard to reconstruct the relationships only depending on the manpower. So in this thesis, we propose an automatic method to reconstruct the relationships. We first extract features such as related person, contracted time, price, …etc, from metadata and full-text of land deeds and unify the category and person role of deeds. Second, we define conditions each relationship should meet based on the features and define fuzzy comparison methods of features. Finally, using the feature conditions, we design an algorithm to efficiently compare each pair of land deeds to find the relationships. As a result, in totally 30285 land deeds, we find “original deed and deed from the previous owner” 2409 pairs, “original deed and its government receipt of tax payment” 92 pairs, “allotment agreements” 878 sets and “same deeds” 531 sets. These relationships reconstructed have been accessible in THDL (Taiwan History Digital Library) to assist historian in Taiwanese land deeds research. |
