Several platforms of computational linguistics have been developed for Sanskrit. There are in-house efforts to use these computational linguistic tools for semi-automatic annotation of the Sanskrit corpus at various levels such as annotation of inflectional and derivational morphology, annotation of kāraka roles, and linking the stems with various digital lexica. These tasks are being carried out mostly semi-automatically involving a human supervision, or with a user interface for appropriate selection. Several Digital Sanskrit libraries are being developed. However, there is no present consensus on interoperability between the ones and the others, such as inter-translatable annotation of corpus. Moreover, for want of a common platform, there is very little communication among the researchers involved in the digital libraries and the computational linguists.
The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for the various researchers involved in such efforts, in view of increasing cooperation in this area. The workshop would welcome participants both from the computational linguistics side and from the philology side, as well as traditional pandits interested in computer usage. This forum would provide a platform to discuss on the interoperability between the two platforms, such as inter-translatable annotation of corpus, development of proper user interfaces etc. facilitating bridging the gap between the two efforts.
