漢字不僅是字，也經常是構詞的語素，在運用和教學中都是非常重要的基礎。在電腦的發展中，漢字的數位化也相當的重要，它不僅是中文電腦的基本要件，漢字的數位化更能夠作爲學習漢字的工具。過去，已經建立了很多漢字數位學習工具，近年來，多媒體和網路科技的發展，讓漢字學習的方法更多元化，但是其內容深度仍有待改進。這些問題包括：普遍缺乏漢字歷時變異的知識、缺乏漢字關係的知識、過度簡化正簡漢字的關係、未能與其它語言資源連接、未採用有分享能力的形式語言等。本論文旨在說明這些問題在華語文學習的角色，以及漢字知識本體(Hantology)如何解決這些問題，並提出利用漢字知識本體作爲語言資源，增加電腦處理正體中文的能力，提升正體字資訊在網路的優勢，增加學習正體字的需求。

Chinese characters are not only characters but often are also morphemes; therefore, they are used as the basic foundation in teaching Chinese. In computer development history, the digitization of Chinese characters is a critical advance in Chinese computers which eventually became a powerful e-learning tool to study Chinese characters. In the past, numerous e-learning tools have been constructed to provide multiple learning approaches for Chinese characters, however, the contents provided by these tools hold various restrictions and difficulties. These problems include: insufficient knowledge on how Chinese characters evolved through its history, thus unable to link to other linguistic resources, inadequate reference among Chinese characters, oversimplify relations between traditional and simplified Chinese characters, and reckless rejection of other language forms equipped with sharing ability. This study purposes the role of these problems in learning Chinese characters and how they can be solved by Hantology. Comparing with other e-learning tools for Chinese characters, the advantages of Hantology as a linguistic resource are its ability to improve information processing quality in Chinese characters as well as to enhance the advantage of using traditional Chinese characters in the internet.
