The ambition and proposal for data modeling of myths presented in this paper is to link contemporary technical affordances to some canonical projects developed in structural anthropology. To articulate the theoretical promise and innovation of this proposal, we present a discrete-event system specification modeling and simulation approach in order to perform a generative analysis and a dynamic visualization of selected narratives, aimed at validating and revitalizing the transformational and morphodynamic theory and methodology proposed by Claude Lévi-Strauss in his structural analysis of myth. After an analysis of Lévi-Strauss’s transformational methodology, we describe in detail how discrete-event system specification models are implemented and developed in the framework of a DEVSimPy software environment. The validation of the method involves a discrete-event system specification simulation based on the extension of discrete-event system specification models dedicated to provide a dynamic Google Earth visualization of the selected myth. Future work around the discrete-event system specification formalism in anthropology is described as well as future applications regarding the impact of computational models (discrete-event system specification formalism, Bayesian inferences, and object-oriented features) to new contemporary anthropological domains.

本文提出的神话数据建模的目标和建议是将当代技术可供性与结构人类学中开发的一些规范项目联系起来。为了阐明该提案的理论前景和创新，我们提出了一种离散事件系统规范建模和模拟方法，以便对选定的叙述进行生成分析和动态可视化，旨在验证和振兴转换和形态动力学理论和方法。克劳德·列维-施特劳斯在他对神话的结构分析中提出的。在分析了 Lévi-Strauss 的转换方法之后，我们详细描述了如何在 DEVSimPy 软件环境的框架中实现和开发离散事件系统规范模型。该方法的验证涉及基于离散事件系统规范模型扩展的离散事件系统规范模拟，该模型致力于提供所选神话的动态谷歌地球可视化。描述了人类学中围绕离散事件系统规范形式主义的未来工作，以及关于计算模型（离散事件系统规范形式主义、贝叶斯推理和面向对象的特征）对当代新人类学领域的影响的未来应用。
