Entry Data Model #

Regarding the Kanchiin manuscript Ruiju Myōgishō:

First, under Entry Data Structure, we present the internal components of an Entry (such as Headword, Phonetic Gloss, and Wakun (*Japanese native reading*)) using specific examples (visual representations and transcriptions), and provide an abstracted and visualized diagram of the Entry structure.

Next, under Types of Entries, different kinds, such as basic Entries and supplementary Entries, are discussed.

Furthermore, under Concepts Related to Character Notation, script styles (書体, shotai), the standard of writing Chinese characters (字体, jitai), and the shapes of Chinese characters (字形, jikei), along with variant characters (異体字, itaiji) and graphically similar characters, are explained.

Finally, we cover the Entry Data Files, including their content, specific examples, and the methods used for publication and updates via GitHub.
