In the Article “Digital Dictionary of Buddhism”, Muller (2015) discuses putting the Buddhist dictionary onto the internet and renaming it. When it first came out they called it the Dictionary of East Asian Buddhist Terms (DEABT). Then Muller tells us they changed it due” to “Realizing, however, that a large portion of the content actually dealt with Indian and other cultural manifestations of Buddhism, and not wanting to discourage potential collaborators who work in these areas, we renamed it in 2001 to the present Digital Dictionary of Buddhism (DDB)”(p. 2).
