DLI-Phase 2: A Digital Library for the Humanities

摘要IIS-9817484起重机，格雷戈里塔夫茨大学$374，316 - 12月。（与SBE/S T研究共同资助，金额为200，000美元，总额为574，316美元）DLI第二阶段：人文数字图书馆这是一个为期五年的连续奖项的第一年资助。 该项目的重点是发展一个可扩展的，基础广泛的，跨学科的人文数字图书馆的基础。该项目的主要研究人员不仅包括人文主义者，还包括人机界面设计和认知科学方面的专家。 其目标是改善人文主义者进行智力工作的方式，并设计更容易被万维网所覆盖的广泛受众所访问的材料。 数字图书馆使我们能够改善传统的教学和学习;他们也挑战我们重新定义人文和社会之间的关系。为了实现这些目标，必须开发新的文件模式，为更复杂的读者服务，并在不同的人力和电子环境中在各级进行互动;也就是说，作为一个可以长期维持的可扩展的综合数字图书馆的一部分。 在希腊罗马世界12年发展的基础上，项目团队将创建一个数字图书馆，其中包括从古埃及到十九世纪伦敦的各种材料。

Abstract IIS-9817484 Crane, Gregory Tufts University $374,316 - 12 mos. (Jointly funded with SBE/S&T Studies of the amount of $200,000 which totals the award to $574,316)DLI Phase 2: A Digital Library for the HumanitiesThis is the first year funding of a five year continuing award. This project is focussing on developing the foundations of a scalable, broad-based, interdisciplinary digital library for the humanities. The principal investigators for this project include not only humanists but also specialists in computer-human interface design and in cognitive science. The goals are to both to improve the ways that humanists can perform their intellectual work and to design materials that are more accessible to the vastly expanded audience already reached by the World Wide Web. Digital libraries allow us to improve traditional teaching and learning; they also challenge us to redefine the relationship between the humanities and society as a whole. To achieve the goals, new document models must be developed to serve a more complex audience and which are designed to interact at various levels in diverse human and electronic contexts; that is, as part of a scalable, integrated digital library that can be maintained over time. Building on twelve years of development with the Greco-Roman world, the project team will create a digital library that includes a wide range of materials, ranging from ancient Egypt through nineteenth century London.
