Retrieval in Texts with Traditional Mongolian Script Realizing Unicoded Traditional Mongolian Digital Library

This paper discusses our approaches to create a digital library on traditional Mongolian script using Unicode. Also we introduce system architecture of a digital library that stores books and materials of historical importance written in traditional Mongolian which contain history of 1,000 years and are important part of Mongolian culture. Specifically, we propose a technique that will allow users to search traditional Mongolian unicoded texts with keywords in modern Mongolian Cyrillic characters. To accomplish our goal, we used Greenstone digital library system and it is based on a unicoded traditional Mongolian script. We created a traditional Mongolian digital library with Golden History (Altan Tobci in Mongolian) chronological book of ancient Mongolian Kings and their history. We approved our system’s effectiveness by experiment.
