This application seeks funding to guarantee the long-term sustainability and increased impact of a much-valued resource developed through previous AHRC funding: the Database of Mid-Victorian Wood-Engraved Illustration (2004-7; DMVI; www.dmvi.cardiff.ac.uk/). The proposal grows out of two other AHRC projects: an ICT Methods Network Workshop on 'Annotating Images' (2007) and a Museums, Galleries and Libraries Network (LICAU 2007-8). The PIs for these projects (Thomas, Rana, Skilton) have united to develop this proposal and pool their expertise and contacts across different sectors. The application exploits recent technical advances not only to improve DMVI as it now exists, but to enhance it so that it can become the core for more extensive database work with literary illustration. DMVI's unique value to humanities research lies in its digitised storage and bibliographic and iconographic descriptions of almost 900 illustrations that accompanied literary texts in 1862, a key year in the so-called 'golden age' of illustration. The images and metadata are accessible on a fully-searchable website. DMVI has played a major role in elevating the status of illustration. The project was graded 'outstanding' by AHRC assessors, who commented on its significance across the fields of print culture, visual arts and cultural history. A review in the Journal of Victorian Culture said DMVI 'raises the entire profile of illustration as a semi-autonomous category and a proper field for scholarly investigation' (13:1, 108-113). This proposal arises because of the widespread recognition that DMVI's significance is considerably more extensive than originally envisaged. Its iconographic system has been adapted by other Victorian databases (see Nineteenth-Century Serials Edition http://www.ncse.ac.uk/index.html), while its structures have been used in diverse image-based projects: the Victorian Manchester Image Database (http://web.leedstrinity.ac.uk/history/mh/dmvi/index.html) and Illustrating Scott (http://illustratingscott.lib.ed.ac.uk/index.html). DMVI images have also been requested for use by TV, film and publishing companies, graphic designers, community and tourism websites, and the heritage industry. Recognising the major impact of DMVI in such a range of academic and commercial contexts, this proposal seeks to guarantee its sustainability and enhance its impact as follows:1. Ensuring technical sustainability by converting the data to MySQL. For archiving purposes, a version of DMVI will be deposited with key image repositories (e.g. NINES, (http://www.nines.org/; Europeana, http://www.europeana.eu/portal/).2. Increasing the impact of content by the mapping of ICONCLASS codes, enabling browsing in languages other than English and cross-searching between DMVI and third-sector collections worldwide.3. Allowing for community editing, first, by providing an interface for the addition of new records, allowing non-specialists to add material, and accommodating new fields for medium, date, language and verbal context; second, by exploring the use of community tagging to generate meaningful and authoritative data.4. Enhancing the search facility to permit further development and the implementation of the database mechanisms in other contexts.5. Developing an open source Image Management System, so that users (academics or others) can develop their own image-based datasets based on DMVI. This follows the successful adaptations by the Victorian Manchester Image Database and Illustrating Scott. 6. Creating impact in schools through teaching-support sites and resources, with the advice of a consultant from the Institute of Education.By these developments, the significant existing benefits of the AHRC's investment will be multiplied by turning DMVI into a resource with international cross-sector reach and by enabling a broad range of users to directly contribute to the further growth of a rich, multifaceted resource.

该申请寻求资金来保证通过以前的AHRC资助开发的备受价值的资源的长期可持续性和增加的影响：中型木材木质雕刻的数据库（2004-7; dmvi; www.dmvi; www.dmvi.cardiff.acac.uk/）。该提案从其他两个AHRC项目中提出：ICT方法网络网络研讨会（2007年）和博物馆，画廊和图书馆网络（LiCau 2007-8）。这些项目的PI（Thomas，Rana，Skilton）团结起来，共同制定了这一建议，并汇集了他们在不同部门的专业知识和联系。该应用程序利用了最新的技术进步，不仅可以改善DMVI，还可以增强它，以便它可以成为更广泛的数据库与文学插图一起工作的核心。 DMVI对人文科学研究的独特价值在于其数字化存储以及书目和肖像描述，对近900种插图，这些插图伴随着1862年的文学文本，这是所谓的“黄金时代”的关键年份。图像和元数据可在可搜索的网站上访问。 DMVI在提升插图状态方面发挥了重要作用。该项目是由AHRC评估员对“杰出”评分的，他们评论了其在印刷文化，视觉艺术和文化历史领域的重要性。 《维多利亚文化文化杂志》上的评论说，DMVI“提高了插图作为半自治类别的整体形象，也提高了学术研究的适当领域”（13：1，108-113）。由于普遍认识到DMVI的意义比最初设想的要广泛得多，因此出现了这一建议。它的肖像系统已由其他维多利亚时代的数据库进行了调整（请参阅19世纪的序列版http://www.ncse.ac.ac.uk/index.html），而其结构已用于基于图像的各种项目：维多利亚时代的曼彻斯特图像数据库数据库数据库（http://web.leedstrinity.ac.uk/history/mh/dmvi/index.html）和说明Scott（http://illustratingscott.lib.ed.ac.ac.ac.ac.uk/index.html）。还要求DMVI图像使用电视，电影和出版公司，图形设计师，社区和旅游网站以及遗产行业使用。该提案认识到DMVI在如此多的学术和商业环境中的主要影响，旨在保证其可持续性并增强其影响，如下所示：1。通过将数据转换为MySQL来确保技术可持续性。出于归档目的，将使用关键图像存储库存储DMVI（例如Nines（http://wwwww.nines.org/; eRUERA，http：//wwwww.european.eu/portal/portal/portal/portal/).2.2 DMVI和第三部门在全球范围内。3。开发开源图像管理系统，以便用户（学者或其他人）可以根据DMVI开发自己的基于图像的数据集。 6.在教育研究所的顾问的建议下，通过教学支持站点和资源在学校中产生影响。通过这些发展，AHRC投资的现有主要好处将乘以将DMVI转变为具有国际跨部门覆盖范围的资源，并通过使大量用户直接促进丰富的，多构想的多构想资源的进一步增长。
