ABSTRACT

This paper presents a data model developed during the project of mapping the literature of Vilnius, capital of Lithuania. The city has for centuries been an important place for Lithuanian, Polish, Jewish and Russian culture. Various literary texts reflect different spatial conceptualizations. The diversity of spatial references in the literature of Vilnius calls for a comprehensive literary database that would store the different types of spatial references: locations, zones, routes, spatial links and events, related both to literary spaces and to authors’ biographies. For this purpose, a data model proposed by previous researchers has been modified and enhanced. A Web GIS application was designed for the input of geographic data. The elaborated conceptual model is not limited to Vilnius literature. It can readily be applied to any work of fiction or biography depending on the academic interests of the researcher.

摘要

本文介绍了在对立陶宛首都维尔纽斯文献进行地图绘制的项目中开发的数据模型。几个世纪以来，这座城市一直是立陶宛，波兰，犹太和俄罗斯文化的重要场所。各种文学著作反映了不同的空间概念。维尔纽斯文学中空间参考的多样性要求建立一个全面的文学数据库，该数据库应存储与文学空间和作者传记有关的不同类型的空间参考：位置，区域，路线，空间联系和事件。为此，以前的研究人员提出的数据模型已经过修改和增强。设计了一个Web GIS应用程序来输入地理数据。详细的概念模型不仅限于维尔纽斯文献。
