A Research on the Transmission and Variation of Tales to Build Korean Yadam Computer Aided Digital Archive

In this paper, the transmission and variation of tales between Yadamjip's was investigated. Yadamjip is a collection of Yadam, which is a tale of unofficial histories. The data was compiled from 12 books of Yadamjip and the number of tales used in this research is 2,144. The pairwise comparison of 2,144 tales to each other was committed and the transmission and variation of Yadamjip is inferred by computational clustering and text mining methods from the similarity of tales in each Yadamjip. Among the 12 Yadamjip's., it is revealed that there are three major categories of Yadamjip only with respect to the transmission relation. Especially, GIMUN (NL), GIMUM (YS), HAEDONG, CHEONGGU, DONGPAE, GYESEO were revealed to share various tales with trivial or minor variation.
