Evidence Bridges
This page records which nearby Sanskrit research repos are relevant to the atlas and how their work should enter the atlas, if at all. The rule is simple: link first, import only when a dictionary-facing artifact has a clear contract.
Trust Block
- Evidence: current atlas boundary rules,
.ai_state.md, and inspected cross-repo session journals forWhitneyRoots,VisualDCS,SanskritSpellCheck,MWS,CommentaryStrategies,csl-guides, andcsl-standards. - Limitations: routing map only; no external repository data is copied into this page and no external pipeline is made part of the atlas build.
- Validation: route links are checked by
npm run build; external repositories remain independently validated in their own projects. - Owner repo:
csl-atlas. - Next use: decide whether a bridge should stay a link, become a small atlas chip, or wait for a formal data contract.
Bridge Map
| Repo | Atlas value | Product shape | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhitneyRoots | Root/class, Whitney grammar sections, MW/Apte root entries, DCS frequency, generated paradigms | Future grammar bridge chip on lemma/dossier pages | Link now; import only a compact root-summary contract later. |
| VisualDCS | Corpus/genre context and modern 2026 CoNLL-U-derived lemma evidence | DCS frequency/context chip already belongs only as dictionary-facing summary | Do not add corpus dashboards here. |
| SanskritSpellCheck | Typo vs variant vs wrong-reading vs orthographic drift teaching material | “Do not correct too quickly” lessons and correction-caution examples | No correction filing from atlas pages. |
| MWS | MW authority records, ib., Register B, source-link candidates |
Citation-trust notes and source-authority links | Keep MW source work in MWS; atlas consumes only evidence summaries. |
| CommentaryStrategies | Examples of commentary explaining differently from dictionaries | Occasional teaching contrast, not a data layer | Do not merge commentary pipeline into dictionary atlas. |
| csl-guides | Beginner-facing dictionary and script/grammar lessons | Student lesson prerequisites and follow-up drills | Guides teach basics; atlas teaches evidence use. |
| csl-standards | TEI/OntoLex/loss-report interpretation | Research appendix links for interoperability | Standards work is not the atlas front door. |
Import Readiness
| Status | Meaning | Current examples |
|---|---|---|
| Link only | Useful context, but not an atlas data input. | CommentaryStrategies, csl-standards, csl-guides. |
| Chip candidate | Small dictionary-facing summary could improve a lemma page. | WhitneyRoots root/class; VisualDCS lemma context. |
| Teaching example | Best used as exercises or cautionary notes. | SanskritSpellCheck, MWS Register B/source authority. |
| Contract required | Needs a stable manifest or schema before build integration. | Any future root-summary or corpus-summary import. |
Near-Term Uses
- Add a grammar bridge chip only after
WhitneyRootsexposes a compact root-keyed manifest suitable for static lookup. - Keep VisualDCS to lemma-level context and resist moving corpus dashboards into this repository.
- Turn SanskritSpellCheck examples into student correction-caution exercises before any source-editing workflow.
- Use MWS authority work to improve citation-trust wording, not to duplicate MWS source files.
