Preliminary Design of a Sanskrit Corpus Manager

We propose a methodology for the collaborative annotation of digitalized Sanskrit corpus tagged with grammatical information. The main features of the proposal are a fine grain view of the corpus at the sentence level, allowing expression of inter-textuality, sparse representation allowing non-necessarily sequential acquisition, and distributed collaborative development using Git technology. A prototype Sanskrit Corpus Manager has been implemented as a proof of concept, in the framework of the Sanskrit Heritage Platform. Possible extensions and potential problems are discussed.
