Abstract
Since it is important to learn the certain in-charge person at the certain time for history studying, we set up a program that assists users in getting information about local officials, by using an source book of that of Qing dynasty, the Listing of. 台灣地理及歷史卷九官師志第一冊文職表卷九[CR1] and 台灣慣習記事[CR2]. All the Taiwan administrative offices and the related occupying officials were recorded on the book, along with the specific dates of beginning and ending. ot a table but a data format was built to help users to fully utilize the information from the book. Since not every piece of information from the book is complete or correct, it is obvious that the smaller the tuple is, the easier it is to make local changes, and it is our main concept for the format. The tuples are required, however, to cover a wide range of fields to be connected to response new types of queries. It is proven that our data format is minimal while sufficient.here are currently three types of queries supported by our system: query by office, query by person, and query by year. Query by office, which is the same method the book adopted, chronologically lists the names of officials to a certain office. The remains, however, are the evidence that digital data offers more than the source book does. Query by name gives us every office held by a given name. And query by year brings an organization chart of the whole government for that given year, as well as the officials and offices. By just a click on an office on the chart, we can find out its internal structure, and its related officials with their titles in that given year. In the same way, a query by a person command would made by clicking on a person of the chart.
