Integrating Knowledge Discovery and Artificial Intelligence in Digital Preservation of Mongolian Medical Ancient Texts
The digitization of ancient Mongolian medical literature is a critical task for preserving traditional medical heritage and enabling its modern transformation. This study analyzes technical adaptability, knowledge mining pathways, and collaborative mechanisms in digitization through multi-regional empirical cases, bibliometric analysis, and web-based surveys. Key findings indicate that standardized metadata development, AI-assisted technologies, and cross-institutional collaboration are essential to overcoming preservation challenges. The research provides theoretical support for building a knowledge service system for Mongolian medical ancient literature, promoting its modern transformation and innovative applications.
