Tibet Encyclopaedia

The IITBS, headed by Dieter Schuh, runs the Tibet Encyclopaedia project . The website is published by Schuh, employees are Wolfgang Bertsch, Christoph Cüppers, Franz-Karl Ehrhard, Karl-Heinz Everding, Petra H. Maurer and Peter Schwieger. The declared aim of the project is to make information about Tibetan culture, history and current developments in the Tibetan highlands accessible to the public on the Internet on a "scientific basis". On the website, the transcription of Tibetan names, place names and other words in Latin script is used after Wylie . The paraphrase of place names follows the maps of the Tibet Map Institute . The description of personal names follows a separate system developed for German speakers.

From September 2009 until the end of 2010 Dieter Schuh made valuable Tibetan contributions as a user of Wikipedia. After he had been criticized by other users, especially in connection with his suggestions for the transcription of Tibetan place names (which deviate from the official spellings), he stopped working on Wikipedia. In an article on the IITBS website, Schuh criticizes the German-language Wikipedia and states, among other things, that he has a lot of information, especially in special areas such as B. "Tibet" is wrong.
