The consolidation of text data base in the humanities falls behind the times. Although each field of study strongly needs cooperative research, development operation on the conference level, or among conferences;the present condition is far from its intended purpose.
Data base in the humanities, having fixed users only, is no widely circulated at all. This situation has been caused mainly by two reasons.
