Sanskrit Dictionary-Database

Project Representative(s): Jong-cheol Lee, Academy of Korean Studies, Seoul, Korea
Prof. Lee is developing a Sanskrit lexicographical polyglot database which will include mappings among Sanskrit, Tibetan, Chinese and Korean. The emphasis on this project will be towards electronic (WWWeb), rather than book implementation. It will be an open-ended project, both in terms of the gathering of content and the nature of the arrangement of data. It is hoped that this project will be able to hook up on a hyperlink basis with other related Sanskrit projects, such as that described in the following presentation. Dr. Lee, as head of the project, is currently assisted by three Indian Sanskrit scholars and a Tibetan monk. An update report was given at the 1999 Taipei meeting.
