Abstract

In this paper, we introduce in brief the basic conditions of the Sino-Tibetan data resources, the STEDT project (the Sino-Tibetan Etymological Dictionary and Thesaurus) at the University of California, Berkeley and the STDP (The Sino-Tibetan Database and Retrieval System Project) at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), including the data structures, data volumes, and retrieval methods. We also discuss interdisciplinary information on the origin of East Asian civilization, which consists of several disciplines, including linguistics, molecular biology, human genetics, and archaeology.
