Formation of Sanskrit Web Working Group in UC Berkeley

The Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI), in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of the West, has formed the Sanskrit Web Working Group (SWWG), with a goal of increasing the quantity, uniformity, utility, and longevity of Sanskrit and other Indic texts on the Web.  As a first step, the Working Group is developing appropriate standards, practices, and tools, using the Digital Sanskrit Buddhist Canon Website as a test case.
