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.
- Evidence: current atlas boundary rules,
.ai_state.md, and inspected
cross-repo session journals for WhitneyRoots, VisualDCS,
SanskritSpellCheck, MWS, CommentaryStrategies, csl-guides, and
csl-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.
| 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. |
| 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. |
- Add a grammar bridge chip only after
WhitneyRoots exposes 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.
