corresponds to multiple instances, and 1 instance corresponds to multiple items. As a result, taken
genealogy as a “work”, then the different editions (copies or photocopies of a certain edition) of
the same kind of genealogy can be regarded as “instance”. Thus, information such as publication
date and place can be described every time the genealogy is produced or published. But for the
current existing genealogy data, although the publication time and institution of the wooden copy
has been retained, the detailed information of the copies and photocopies is not kept; only the
collection information is reserved. For example, the five volumes of The Genealogy of Shang
Kuan Family, their original wooden version printed by TianShui Tang, which are preserved in
“Seeking Original Surname” and the GSU (Genealogical Society of Utah) in the United States, and
the copies are preserved separately in the Fujian Library and Lin Jiashu sector of Taiwan Affairs
Office in Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. The collection information is the remarkable feature of
“item”. So we decide to take these copies as the different “items” for the “wooden copy” instance.
Consequently, the entity relational model of genealogy’s “work-instance-item” is 1:1: n, as shown
in Figure 4.

2.4.2 Knowledge discovery
(1) For the general public
To meet the needs of the general public for browsing at random and seeking ancestors, we took
the conciseness, novelty, and interest into consideration when designing the interface and functions.
The homepage is designed in the pattern that directly presents relevant genealogy documents and
statistics of the ancestor or celebrity according to the surnames so as to attract users to click on.
Users can directly keep in touch with the data and knowledge and discover the information. This
design will appeal users to continue to explore. Users, therefore, can start from surnames to acquire
the knowledge of the origin, evolution as well as the celebrities in history without professional
