4 Visualizing and Querying Chinese Buddhist Biographies
The collections of hagio-bio-graphies of eminent Buddhist monks and nuns in China between c. 200 and 1700 CE.

8 DILA Authority Database
Detailed information of persons, places, dates are store in DILA Authority Database. ( Most important: DILA Authority Database provides geographical coordinates of historical places mentioned in 高僧傳 corpus.

9 Geographic visualization of Buddhist Biographies

10 Search using time/person/place condition
2018/11/14

11 Unfortunately, Due to the "Google Earth Browser Plugin", the main technique for visualizing Geometric information, has been deprecated from this March. We can not directly see map visualizations on 高僧傳's website. We plan to fix it in summer.

12 So, now we only have a site of 高僧傳 corpus without GIS.
The interface besides displays the content of 高僧傳 text with all date ,person , place entities annotated, it also provides links for downloading KML containing geometric points mentioned in the text.

13 Practices with 高僧傳 GIS Try to download KML from following biographies:
梁高僧傳 > 譯經 > 釋法顯 梁高僧傳 > 譯經 > 鳩摩羅什 唐高僧傳 > 譯經 > 釋玄奘 Try to perform following search: Search for all points in 梁高僧傳 Search for all points related to 唐 dynasty Search for all points related to 菩提達摩

14 Transform KML to PostGis
The best way for us to transform KML to PostGIS Table is through "QGIS" software. The whole procedure: Load KML file as Vector Layer in QGIS Save the new Layer as shape file Import shape file to PostGIS

15 Load KML data into QGIS Simply use "ADD Vector Layer" and point to the KML file. Add Layer Add Vector Layer Location of KML file Open

16 Save Layer to Shape file
Right Click a layer in the layer panel Format : ESRI Shape File Filename: for Saving Shape file CRS: ESPG:4326 WGS 84 Encoding: UTF-8 Save As

17 pgShapeLoader Applicaion
User Name: postgres Password: Password of postgres Connecting: host=localhost port=5432 user=postgres password='*******' dbname=TaiwanBuddhistTemples Connection succeeded. Database: TaiwanBuddhistTemples

18 -s: specify SRID of shape file.
> shp2pgsql -s g geom -W "UTF-8" -c {path_to_.dbf_file} public.Town | pbcopy -s: specify SRID of shape file. -g: specify the name of the field for storing geometric object -W: text encoding of shape file -c : for creating Table {path_to_.dbf_file} : specify the path to the .dbf file public.Town: the name of the table for storing the data of shape file > shp2pgsql -s g geom -W "UTF-8" -c {path_to_.dbf_file} public.Town | xclip -sel clip In ubuntu, you have to install xclip first.

20 Buddhist Temples in Taiwan
(台灣佛寺時空平台)

21 Buddhist Temples in Taiwan
This project uses geographic information system (GIS) technology to integrate temporal and spatial information about Taiwanese Buddhism, especially the spread and distribution of Buddhist temples and centers of worship. 2018/11/14

22 About The Dataset As data sources we use previous research done by scholars of Taiwanese Buddhist history. In particular we include the work of Prof. Kan Zhengzong 闞正宗 , who has kindly agreed to serve as advisor for this project. Data Source: 資料年代 「 內政部民政司/下載專區/寺廟一覽表 」 Dept. of Civil Affair/Ministry of Interior 更新至 2010 年版 「水月閣/世界佛教通訊」 約 1995 年前後 各寺院專屬網站 2007~2010 年 《重修苗栗縣志:宗教志卷八》 2007年4月

23 Browse Data of Taiwanese Temples
Search with Metadata Browse Temples Data by Map

30 Download Source Data You can down the source data in download page.
The zip-archive provided here includes the data of the Buddhist Temples in Taiwan database in XML/TEI (P5). It is distributed under a CC (Attribute - Share Alike) Ver.3 license. taiwanese_buddhist_temples.zip [1.28mb, :16] The Temples.csv, we used for our last lecture, is generated from this XML file.

31 Buddhist Studies Authority Database
(佛學規範資料庫)

32 佛學規範資料庫 Buddhist Studies Authority Databases
Our authority database wants to collect all authority entities, including persons, places, time and books related to Chinese Buddhism. Give each entity a unique authority id. 東漢 明帝 永平 元年 正月一日( )( ) 鳩摩羅什(Kumārajīva)(A001583),攝摩騰(A000883), 洛陽 白馬寺 (CN410322T01AA) The authority id is the basis for providing accurate and various search functions. 2018/11/14

33 佛學規範資料庫 Buddhist Studies Authority Databases
Data Range: Time Authority Database BCE 221/11/16 (Qin) -- CE 1912/01/12 (Qing) Chinese/Western/Japanese/Korean Calendar Person Authority Database More than persons Place Authority Database More than places 2018/11/14

34 Example of Person Authority Record
Alternative Name Birth and Death Record 2018/11/14

35 Example of Time Authority
Estimated Western Date Parallel dynasties in China Japanese and Korean calendar 2018/11/14

36 Data in Place Authority Database
Current Scope: Chinese cities in 15 dynasties ( from Qin to Qing) Important Buddhist places in Asia More than places Authority id and Names Longitude, Latitude Kml Download Online Google Map Administrative area Dynasty Note(use to indentify this place): Sources

37 Access Source Data Download > Open Content Project
You can down whole databases dump for person, place and calendar databases. The Least update date: May, 2017 Or you can visit our GitHub repository:

38 Access information through Data Service API
Access raw data with URL (ex: person query), data return in JSON format.
