Abstract

Abstract Digital techniques are critical in the digital age. Research in various disciplines requires the use of digital technology. Extracting and digitizing information from text, particularly historical geographical information, is the most fundamental operation of digital humanities. However, digitizing historical geographical information is a challenging work. This article proposes a framework for constructing a digital system of historical geographic information. The feasibility of the digital system was verified in a case study of Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in Tibetan inhabited areas of China. The results demonstrate that the digital system proposed in this study can be used as a guide for digitizing historical geographic information of Tibetan Buddhist monasteries from the perspective of digital humanities. This study provides a useful reference for the digitalization of historical geographic information in the digital humanities discipline.
