The Subject Structure of the ACIP Text Database
One of the most challenging aspects of attempting to preserve an entire tradition of thought as it has been passed down over more than 2,000 years is to organize it into categories that will make it easy for you, the user, to locate immediately the text you want to work with. The sheer amount of sacred literature which exists in the Tibetan language (estimated at hundreds of thousands of titles) makes this a somewhat daunting task: we estimate that, by the time the Project or its successors have completed capturing the entire tradition of Tibet, several centuries will have passed.
The Subject Structure of the many different kinds of books input by the Project is explained in an appendix to the ACIP Release IV User Manual which can be downloaded from this web site or obtained with the Release IV CD-ROM from ACIP.
