NEW DEVELOPMENTS
ECAI Sanskrit Working Group (ESWG)
The ECAI Sanskrit Working Group (ESWG) was constituted in 2008, with a goal of increasing the quantity, uniformity, utility, and longevity of Sanskrit and other Indic texts on the Web. (For the detailed mission statement, see the ESWG web site http://www.ecai.org/sanskritworkinggroup/indexst.html) To date the ESWG has initiated two projects: creation of a test bed for developing
standards, tools, and technologies for the storage, retrieval, and analysis of Sanskrit and other Indic language documents; and development of a model for connecting distributed repositories of documents in Sanskrit and other languages.
A progress report on the first of these projects was delivered at the 2008 PNC/ECAI Conference in Hanoi, Vietnam. Powerpoint slides with presenter notes are available at
http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~rmoon/ValueProposition.pdf
and the test bed application itself can be found at http://metaphor.ischool.berkeley.edu:8080/SDR/. The Working Group is currently focusing on the second project and will present a progress
report in the second quarter of 2009.
