In pre-modern religions from Asia we encounter unique scripts,
number systems, calendars, and naming conventions. These make the
Western-built world of consumer technology an ill fit to our needs.
Even tools specifically developed for Digital Humanities often do
not support our needs. The problems we face are particularly
specific, and therefore solutions are not going to come from anyone
but ourselves. However, the barrier to entry is still high for
graduate students and scholars without prior experience of digital
methods. Our volume aims to guide the enthusiastic colleague
through the first perilous phases of folding digital tools into
their toolset. We shall explain how to set the right expectations,
what type of work can be easiest automated or digitized, how you
set up and execute a digital project, and what the specific
pitfalls are that we need to look out for. We cover five religious
domains: 1) Judaism and Christianity, 2) Islam, 3) Hinduism and
Jainism, 4) Buddhism, and 5) Shintoism and Daoism. Concomitantly we
have identified eight topical domains: 1) mapping, 2) databases, 3)
cataloging, 4) corpus analysis, 5) encoding and editing, 6) online
media, 7) manuscript tagging, 8) reflections on the methodological
shift.
