The Hanazono Concordance Series

by Urs APP

Our institute's Zen KnowledgeBase project focuses on the creation of electronic Chan / Zen / Son texts, research tools, and electronic research utilities rather than printed products. However, once electronic text of good quality is created, it can be transformed into many different forms. One of these possible forms is that of a concordance.

The Hanazono University Concordance Series, published in the framework of the Zen Knowledgebase project, will comprise a total of twenty volumes. These concordances are entirely created at our institute: the electronic text, the concordance program, the code conversion routines, the layout, and finally the camera-ready copy.

In producing these concordances, I am assisted by a small but very able team. Special thanks go to Mr. Christian WITTERN who wrote the excellent concordance program and the code conversion routines; to K. FUJIMOTO who expertly corrected the data and the JIS-Big5 code tables and created some characters; to Dr. Xiao-hung LIANG who punctuated the texts starting with volume 5; and to my project assistant Shun MURAKAMI.
