Lec. 7 computerized search system for tipitaka [budsir]

BUDSIR
 On May 30, 1988, Visakha Puja Day, the
Digital Tipitaka Development Team under
the Mahidol University Computing Center,
Thailand, announced the completion of its
project to record the 45 volumes of the Pali
Tipitaka onto computer, together with the
development of an application program,
BUDSIR (BUDdhist Scriptures Information
Retrieval), for searching it.

BUDSIR
 BUDSIR could search and find every
occurrence of every word, sentence,
and saying of the Buddha occurring
in the Tipitaka promptly, precisely
and comprehensively. It was the
world’s first digital edition of the
Tipitaka

BUDSIR
 Three years later, in compliance with the
wishes of his Majesty King Bhumibol
Adulyadej the Great, 70 volumes of the
Atthakatha (Commentary) were added to the
database, and three years from then, in
August 1994, the Tipitaka and Atthakatha,
numbering 115 volumes in all, were
recorded on CD-ROM and a more efficient
search program, BUDSIR IV, was developed.

BUDSIR
 Then in September, 1996, BUDSIR IV
for Windows has been developed so
that the program can work in a
Windows environment. BUDSIR IV
for Windows works much that same
as previous version of the program,
with fast, accurate and, most
importantly, comprehensive search
capability.

BUDSIR
 With the Graphic User Interface (GUI), it
can display information from Tipitaka
and Atthakatha in up to eight movable
and resizable windows at a time, and the
text size and color can be changed as the
user wishes. The program has also been
given sound capabilities so that Pali
passages can be read out by the
computer.

BUDSIR
 Year 1997, it marked another great step
forward in the development of the project with
the successful completion of the following :
1. The Thai translation edition of the
Tipitaka, and the new search engine BUDSIR/TT
for Windows.
2. BUDSIR in Multi-scripts. The program is able
to display data from the original two scripts-
Thai and Roman, to many more scripts :
Devanagari, Singhalese, Burmese, Khmer.

BUDSIR
 3. BUDSIR with Pali Dictionary. A
Pali-Thai dictionary database is
linked to the original BUDSIR
 database in this first version. The
next stage will be to develop a Pali-
English dictionary.

BUDSIR Publication
 For the CD-ROM publication, so far 4 CDs have been
produced and distributed as follows:
 Year
 Product Name
 1994 BUDSIR on CD-ROM (in Thai-scripts)
BUDSIR on CD-ROM (in Romanized scripts)
 1996 BUDSIR for Windows (in Romanized scripts)
 1997 BUDSIR for Thai Translation.

The BUDSIR Data Content
 The BUDSIR for Windows contains 115
volumes, or 50,189 pages of text. The
data can be divided into two groups as
follows :
 1. The Pali Tipitaka, 45 volumes.
 2. The Atthakatha and other important
scriptures, 70 volumes.+

 The data from each volume was entered
twice and verified by a computer
program which pin-pointed any
discrepancies between the two versions,
which were then corrected until the two
versions were completely identical. This
was done by eighty typists, each working
at a rate of thirty Pali words a minute, or
on average 15 pages a day.

 For the BUDSIR for Thai Translation, it contains 160
volumes in all, consisting of 115 volumes in Pali text
as in the product of BUDSIR for Windows, and 45
volumes of Tipitaka in Thai translation which is
convenient for comparison with the original Pali
source.

 BUDSIR IV for Windows divides this search
function into two kinds: searching for
words and searching for phrases. Searches
may be carried out for specific whole text or
partial text, such as parts of words or parts
of phrases, using wild cards “*”. For
example:
 "sammapatipada" The program will search
for "sammapatipada" and show all places it
occurs.

 "dukkh*" The program will search for and
display all words that begin with "dukkh";
one of the words can then be selected for
searching and all its occurrences displayed.
 "*veramani" The program will search for
and display all words that end in
"veramani"; one of those words can then be
selected for searching and all its
occurrences displayed.

Efficient searching
 "dhammacari sukham seti" The program
will search for all occurrences of the
phrase "dhammacari sukham seti"
 "parimukham satim upat*" The program
will search for and display all phrases that
begin with "parimukham satim upat"; one
of those phrases can then be selected for
searching and all its occurrences
displayed.

BUDSIR on Internet
 The BUDSIR on Internet is the latest product of
BUDSIR project with an aim of facilitating all
interested persons in retrieving information in
BUDSIR database via Internet. The program consists
of the following:
 45 volumes of Tipitaka in Thai translation.
 45 volumes of Tipitaka in Thai-Pali Tipitaka and
Romanized Pali.
 70 volumes of Atthakatha and commentaries in Thai-
Pali and Romanized Pali.
 Now Tipitaka and Atthakatha in Devanagari and
Sinhalese are also available for retrieval.
