Abstract

Abstract ISEBEL is an online database for belief legends. The acronym stands for: Intelligent Search Engine for Belief Legends. The database contains more than 70,000 traditional legends in Dutch, Frisian, Danish and German, while another 6,000 Icelandic legends are currently being added. The initiative for this project was taken several years ago by the Meertens Institute in Amsterdam, the University of Rostock/the Wossidlo Research Center and UCLA/UC Berkeley. The ambition is to create a European database, with an intelligent search function and geographical visualizations. What makes the search engine ‘intelligent’ is that it can always be searched in English, thanks to high-quality automatic translations in the background. The legend material that is brought together can also form the basis of sophisticated graphs that network themes, motifs, narrators, repertoires, and places. This article includes examples of international legends about mermaids and werewolves.

ISEBEL项目

ISEBEL是一个信仰传说的在线数据库。首字母缩写代表：信仰传奇的智能搜索引擎。该数据库包含超过70000个荷兰语、弗里斯兰语、丹麦语和德语的传统传说，目前正在添加另外6000个冰岛传说。该项目的倡议是几年前由阿姆斯特丹的Meertens研究所、罗斯托克大学/沃塞德洛研究中心和加州大学洛杉矶分校/加州大学伯克利分校发起的。目标是创建一个具有智能搜索功能和地理可视化功能的欧洲数据库。搜索引擎之所以“智能”，是因为它总是可以用英语搜索，这要归功于后台的高质量自动翻译。汇集在一起的传奇材料也可以构成复杂图形的基础，这些图形将主题、主题、叙述者、曲目和地点联系起来。这篇文章包括关于美人鱼和狼人的国际传说的例子。

期刊介绍： Fabula is a medium of discussion for issues of all kinds which are of interest to international folk narrative research. The journal contains eight divisions: Articles, Minor Contributions, Research Reports and Conference Reports, News, Projects and Queries, Reviews, Bibliographical Notes, and Books Received. Principal themes of the article section are the study of popular narrative traditions in their various forms (fairy tales, legends, jokes and anecdotes, exempla, fables, ballads, etc.), the interrelationship between oral and literary traditions as well as the contemporary genres. Interest focuses on Europe and overseas countries which are influenced by European civilization, but still, there is quite a number of contributions from other culture areas.
