This paper reports the development and application of the R.O.C Government Post Database. The database records government personnel job changes based on presidential orders published on government gazettes. Meta-information on appointments and dismissals of government officials are extracted and encoded in the database, covering from the foundation of the R.O.C. government, i.e., 1912, to the present and collecting up to ninety thousands records. The database allows fine-grained data retrieval and, with help from computational tools, supports multi-dimensional data analysis. The development of the database opens up tremendous opportunities for empirical and validation research that were previously hindered or limited by difficulties in accessing thousands of printed materials. The work also demonstrates the potential of libraries in taking up the roles of data producer and value adder, utilizing primary text materials, especially in the area of subject-based document collections, and developing valuable online information resources for public interest.
