Example of the Application of Digital Humanities Tools in Slips Restoration: Fragments of Post Register
Taking “Fragments of a Post Register” as an example, the text comparison tool on “Digital Analysis System for Humanities”, developed by the Academia Sinica Center for Digital Cultures, was employed to filter through the contents of wooden slips discovered at the same excavation location (A35). In addition, “Wooden Slips Character Dictionary” supports functionality that allows researchers to view full images and details of slips and compare them (see figure 3). Through the above process, it was found that slip nos. 495.2 and 505.6, whose contents are related, share similarities in regards to strokes and can thus be placed together.
