  3. 1. Introduction With the support of Taiwan Digital Archives Expansion Project, Taiwan e-Learning & Digital Archives Program (TELDAP) and Buddhist Digital Archives Group, Dharma Drum Buddhist College (DDBC), there are now various Buddhist digital archive projects established and working towards the goal of the Integration of International Buddhist Archives.

  4. 2. TELDAP/DDBC Buddhist projects In this presentation, the following TELDAP/DDBC Buddhist projects will be introduced: 1. Digital Database of Buddhist Tripitaka Catalogues 2. Buddhist Lexicographical Resources 3. The Chinese Buddhist Tripiṭaka Electronic Text Collection, Taipei Edition

  10. 1) Digital Database of Buddhist Tripitaka Catalogues (http://jinglu.cbeta.org/) The purpose of this database is to provide search and retrieval functions across multi-lingual Buddhist Tripitaka catalogs. The site employs the standards for hypertext and metadata, such as XML/TEI markup, to build a knowledge management system of Buddhist text catalogues. Its database already contains Buddhist Tripitaka catalogues in Chinese, Tibetan, Pali, Manchu, and Western languages (translated from Chinese).

  11. Buddhist Tripitakacatalogs Reorganization of Tripitaka catalogs of different dynasties and multi-lingual editons. More information can be seen at: http://jinglu.cbeta.org

  12. 2) Buddhist Lexicographical Resources(http://sites.google.com/site/buddhistreferencetools/Home) The goal of this project is to construct a large-scale digital database of Buddhist vocabularies and books. In addition to using Information Technology to sort and integrate related digital literature, the project aims to establish free tools and platforms for academic services. Its website will provide resources for downloading digital collections of Buddhist literature, search and retrieval tools, a Comparative Edition Database, and research platform services.

  15. 3) The Chinese Buddhist Tripitaka Electronic Text Collection, Taipei Edition(http://taipei.ddbc.edu.tw/) This project is aimed at constructing the largest digital archive of Chinese Buddhist content in existence, and at facilitating knowledge sharing and knowledge creation. Digitizing the Jiaxing Tripitaka(嘉興藏) collection is the main task of this project. The Jiaxing Tripitaka is collection of rich Buddhist resources from the Ming and Qing periods, and as a result of this digitization, most of what is not contained in the Tripitaka (大正藏) and the Zokuzōkyō (卍續藏) may now be found in our database.

  17. Spatial-Temporal Information Systems The above mentioned projects, mainly from Chinese Buddhist Tripitaka sources, provide valuable insights into the potential applications of Spatial-Temporal Information Systems. From the database of Chinese Buddhist catalogs, we construct unique IDs, such as titles, dates, translators, authors, locations etc. These unique IDs conform to the standards established in TimeMap Geographic Information Technology.

  18. 3. The Integration of the International Buddhist Archives Although we are blessed now with a wide range of projects that have constructed valuable data repositories, these data-sources tend to function as isolated monoliths, and the lack of connections between them limits their value to end-users. For this reason, a group of scholars around the world has convened to promote ideas connected with “Integrated/International Buddhist Archives” (IBA), the goal being to integrate existing digital Buddhist resources and to provide a framework to support future work.

  19. Integrated Buddhist Archives (IBA) - Taiwan On the 15th of April 2009, with the support of Taiwan Digital Archives Expansion Project and Dharma Drum Buddhist College, the “Integrated Buddhist Archives (IBA) - Taiwan” conference was held at the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica.

  20. Integrated Buddhist Archives (IBA) - Taiwan • This conference provided the opportunity for the presentation of a number of projects with great potential. Organized around the central theme of “integration”, it also provided the opportunity to work on a new direction in our thinking about how our resources can best be used. • It's ultimate goal is the development of ever better and more integrated services for end-users, thereby to make the Buddhadharma ever more accessible and available in new, innovative and powerful ways.

  21. United Nations Day of Vesak The United Nations Day of Vesak workshop in Bangkok on May 5, 2009.  To outline some definite ideas to create a digital unified catalog of the Buddhist canons and other projects: (1) “Canonic Text Input and Cataloging” (2) “Future Needs for Canonic Text Input and Cataloging” (3) "Construction of a Union digital catalogue of Canonic texts" (4) "Technology and Sharing Distributed Data"

  22. Union Catalogues • The Interim Organizing Group (IOG) of the Union Catalog of Buddhist Texts (UCBT) and the CBETA projects: • (1) a member of each of the four Language Working Groups (Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, and Tibetan), (2) a number of technical and scholarly experts

  23. 4. Conclusion •  In this way, the projects introduced above are aimed at the development of an IBA platform that can enable the convenient searching of Buddhist resources scattered around the information world, and at offering scholars undertaking digitization work in Buddhist studies a space in which to exchange ideas and share their experiences of digitization. • The development of Buddhist archives which serve scholars across the word is an important cultural achievement created in Taiwan for the Information Age.
