Abstract
Among the researchers who investigate the society in Heian and Kamakura periods, a comprehensive database of the persons and literatures together with a user-friendly retrieving service has been required. In this paper, we present a database system based on Buddhist scriptures and genealogical trees of both the blood relationship and the master-pupil relationship. We experimentally construct the database, while we implement the retrieval services which apply to the database. With these services, the user can not only see a single genealogical tree but obtain two genealogical trees to understand the human relationship between the specified two persons. Moreover we consider how to store a number of records of person and literature smoothly in the database. Finally, we propose and implement a constructing method of the genealogical trees by a bottom-up approach. By using this system, the researchers can register the records efficiently, and they will find novel human relationships behind the genealogical trees.
