Authors(2) :-Samidha Singh, Dr. Chandrakala Diyali

Vedic literature, as one of the oldest and most profound bodies of knowledge, presents unique challenges and opportunities for digitization and semantic analysis. This paper reviews the current landscape of digital tools and online databases dedicated to the preservation, encoding, and semantic tagging of Vedic texts. It explores the methodologies employed, the scope of digitization projects, and the semantic frameworks utilized to annotate these complex texts. By analyzing the strengths and limitations of existing resources, the study identifies gaps and future directions for enhancing accessibility and research potential through standardized encoding, artificial intelligence integration, and collaborative platforms. The paper aims to contribute to the interdisciplinary dialogue between traditional Sanskrit scholarship and modern digital humanities.
