Project Progress

Project Progress #

This section is part of the Project Records, distinct from the normative Core Documentation. It is a periodically updated snapshot of how far annotation work on the Kanchi-in manuscript of the Ruiju Myōgishō has progressed.

The detailed tables — broken down by the ten fascicles and by gloss type — are maintained only in Japanese. This page is an English summary of the current figures. For the full breakdowns, see the Japanese version: 進捗状況.

What is being tracked #

For each Headword entry, the KRM data separates the components of its Original Gloss (Jp. chūmon) into five kinds: Notes on Character Form (jitaichū), Phonetic Glosses (onchū), Semantic Glosses in Chinese (gichū), Japanese Native Readings (wakun), and a residual Other category. Progress is recorded for the entries, for each gloss type, and — for the wakun — for their linkage to the Nihon Kokugo Daijiten (2nd ed., via JapanKnowledge).

Current figures #

Update policy #

These figures are recomputed from the published data files whenever the underlying data is updated; the change history is kept in MAINTENANCE_LOG.md in the repository. Because the numbers are a work-in-progress snapshot, small changes from one revision to the next reflect ongoing editorial corrections as well as newly completed work.
