3 Digital projects

I’m also involved in several digital projects, some of them properly within the digital humanities. The long-term ones are:

SARIT (“Search and Retrieval of Indic Texts”): this is a large collection of Indic texts, encoded according to the TEI Guidelines (in varying degrees of sophistication)
- SARIT’s search is independent of how the Sanskrit is written. You can try a prototype of that search here: https://es.rdorte.org
EAST (Epistemology and Argumentation in South Asia and Tibet): a bibliographical (and a little biographical) resource for a particular field of ancient philosophy

For Gnu/Emacs, I’ve created a few software packages:

https://github.com/paddymcall/indian-ext: an extended conversion routine for encoding systems used for Sanskrit
https://github.com/paddymcall/xquery-tool.el: run XQueries on an XML document in Gnu/Emacs
https://github.com/paddymcall/tei-html-docs-p5: get help on your TEI XML elements
