Abstract
This paper describes a study on the Japanese classical literary researches by the computer. A model has been developed with a definition and description for the structure of the research process, which is named the FR.(Files for Research) system. The model is considered as the simulation of the research process and organization of materials, information, data, etc., which are widely used in the research processing. Then, a prototype system also has set up to the personal computer, Macintosh, under the FR. model for the feasibility tests. The system designs as an electronic book named the “Soseki in London” based on the substantial model for the Japanese literary work. In the experiments, the book has been evaluated highly, that is, it is available and effective for the researching in the literary work and particularly is useful for educational applications.
