摘要
Just as Buddhist studies has relied on the academic print media ecosystem of authors, publishers, readers, and libraries, Buddhist studies also has also become a part of the new ecosystem of digital humanities. Further, as digital tools are developed that handle Buddhism’s multi-cultural, multi-lingual, and multi-regional scope, they are certain to expand existing boundaries of digital humanities. The online SAT project provides a digital text version of the Taishō Buddhist canon that is freely accessible online. Although the inputting of texts has been completed, the project continues to move forward by adding interoperability with external digital resources, such as the Digital Dictionary of Buddhism and the BDK English translations of Taisho texts. Further, SAT continues to add new functionality within its own system, such as linking textual content with portions of images of texts, using international standards.
