Abstract

This paper focuses on the present methodology of computerized population registers and on the possible next generation of such systems. For these registers to survive their founders and serve multiple purposes they must be designed as evolving (as opposed to static) entities; the central element of such an approach would be a dynamic updating facility. In our view this poses a major challenge to both demographers and computer scientists. The paper is based on experience with the reconstitution of the Quebec population from 1608-1760 which was undertaken by the Research Program in Historical Demography at the University of Montreal.

计算机化人口登记的最新进展。

本文的重点是目前计算机化人口登记的方法和下一代这种系统的可能性。为了使这些注册表能够存活下来并服务于多种目的，它们必须被设计为不断发展的(而不是静态的)实体;这种办法的中心要素将是动态更新设施。在我们看来，这对人口统计学家和计算机科学家来说都是一个重大挑战。本文基于蒙特利尔大学历史人口学研究项目对1608-1760年魁北克人口重建的经验。(摘录)

期刊介绍： Historical Methodsreaches an international audience of social scientists concerned with historical problems. It explores interdisciplinary approaches to new data sources, new approaches to older questions and material, and practical discussions of computer and statistical methodology, data collection, and sampling procedures. The journal includes the following features: “Evidence Matters” emphasizes how to find, decipher, and analyze evidence whether or not that evidence is meant to be quantified. “Database Developments” announces major new public databases or large alterations in older ones, discusses innovative ways to organize them, and explains new ways of categorizing information.
