Talk:International Dunhuang Project

Adding Images
I'd like to add some images to the notable items table. As I work for the project I realise this might be contentious. Does anyone have a strong opinion? Vicswift (talk) 15:30, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Initial peer review
(Responding to a request for feedback) My impressions are that the article meets the WP:GA? criteria (beautifully laid out, everything is sourced, nice use of images, prose well written) but would be criticised for heavy dependence on the IDP website. I have run the following journal/book search and turned up a number of areas that could potentially be cited as applications of the IDP or reviews of it. With a handful of such independent sources added I think this article should definitely be ready for a GA nomination and easily fly through.

If you don't have access to the full JSTOR or Scopus document, send me the link by email and I can let you have the PDF for research.

 * Abstract            The Archaeological Computing Laboratory (ACL), based at the University of Sydney, provides IT support for the university's archaeological staff and students, handling everything from word processing to GIS analysis. Its areas of expertise include CD-ROM and paper-based publications, instructional and database-driven website designs and computer-based mapping of historical data. Sydney University's leading GIS software company, ESRI (Environmental Systems Research
 * Institute Inc.), is also maintained by the ACL.The ACL is also heavily involved in specific research projects, including the Sydney TimeMap project: an attempt to present the history and archaeology of Sydney in an innovative, entertaining and interactive way while at the same time creating a scholastically valuable resource. Other projects include research into Urban Angkor and The International Dunhuang Project. Details and reports from each of the projects are
 * available from the website.

 * Abstract            The International Dunhuang Project (IDP), based at the British Library, is a significant international collaboration that is carrying out research on over 100,000 manuscripts, artefacts, and paintings from Dunhuang and other Silk Road sites. The project is placing these textual and image resources on the Internet, together with information on their provenance, history, and cultural context; it is a work in progress and the resulting database is not expected to be
 * completed for several years. Several international partners are co-operating, and this is resulting in a lack of uniformity in the database, as well as in the use of specific languages for collections of records in the database. The website is aimed at both the layman and the specialist. By providing bibliographies, maps, photographs, site plans, and contemporary images, it provides a wonderful insight into life on the Silk Road during the first millennium AD. The
 * IDP bibliography consists of around 10,000 items. There is a
 * Abstract            lso a list of the project's own publications, and an IDP Newsletter. There is an excellent map section and a manuscript search facility which enables both simple and quite sophisticated subject searches. Images of the search results are displayed along with metadata about the objects. "My Space" is a feature enabling a record to be kept of the reader's personal searches and information. There are also links to special topics such as: Chinese bookbinding; Buddhism
 * in Central Asia; and an account of Sir Aurel Stein's dogs and travelling companions. The website provides comprehensive information about: the sponsors of the project; its objectives; its activities in conservation and digitisation; and other aspects of the project, both educational and practical. Most available information focuses on manuscripts and textual information, but there is also considerable information of archaeological value: the database contains both
 * pictures of artefacts and historical pictures of excavations. T
 * Abstract            he website is easy to navigate and provides a contact form for feedback. The project received funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Board (now the AHRC) within the Resource Enhancement scheme, and from a number of other institutions and individuals.

 * Author              British Library Board      (Copyright Holder); Wight, Colin      (Author); Whitfield, Susan     (Project Director), British Library
 * Abstract            The Diamond Sutra Web page, published by the British Library, contains essential information about and a digital version of the Diamond Sutra (in Sanskrit, the Vajracchedika&#772; Prajn&#771;a&#772;pa&#772;ramita&#772; Sutra from the Su&#772;trapit&#803;aka of the Tripit&#803;aka). Created in 868 CE, the work is the earliest complete dated printed book in existence. It was found hidden in the Dunhuang caves in China in 1907. The actual book is formed by "seven
 * strips of yellow-stained paper printed from carved wooden blocks and pasted together to form a scroll over 5m long". The Chinese text translates the teachings of the Buddha, which had reached China from India following the Silk Road. The book is now conserved at the British Library, which also publishes research and educational resources on the International Dunhuang Project (IDP) and the Silk Road.
 * The Turning the Pages edition of the Diamond Sutra is
 * available in different formats according to the hardware and software capabilities of the computer accessing the resource. In the most advanced version, there is a short audio introductory note and it is possible to read the book as it was originally intended, scrolling the text from left to right. There is no translation. An audio file and transcript of the Dunhuang Project Director Dr Susan Whitfield talking about the Diamond Sutra is also available. This


 * Resource will interest anybody researching the history of printing and Buddhist influences into China.

 * Author              The British Museum (Copyright Holder)
 * Abstract            The website "The British Museum: Treasures of the Silk Road" makes available a remarkable collection of images taken from the British Museum's holdings of Buddhist paintings from the Caves of the Thousand Buddhas at Dunhuang, China. The town is on the Silk Road, and the caves were carved by monks into the hillside over the millennium after the fourth century CE. In the eleventh century CE, an archive of over 50,000 documents, paintings and textiles was hidden in
 * one of the caves. This was rediscovered in 1900 and material from the caves can now be found in several institutions around the world, including the British Museum. This website therefore provides access to an extraordinarily rich visual archive of material relating to Buddhism in China during the heyday of the Silk Road, and will be enjoyed by all those with an interest in this and in Chinese art. The collection may be searched by simple keyword or using the
 * advanced search form. Search tips are included. The archive can also be browsed using the following categories: paintings and drawings; prints; textiles; Buddha; Bodhisattva; Sutra; and Paradise. Results are presented as lists. Each item is accompanied by a descriptive text providing information about the item, and each item image can be viewed in detail using zoom and pan functions. The viewing window is small, which means that not a great deal of the image can be
 * seen at any one time. This can be frustrating. However, the images are of high quality. The site includes a map showing the location of Dunhuang on the Silk Road route, and a brief account of the history of the caves and the discovery of the archive of paintings. It also includes a list of links to other resources about the Dunhuang paintings and their digital preservation, such as the British Library's International Dunhuang Project and the Mellon International

Notice from IDP
Thanks to everyone for the article on IDP and all the comments. For information, I am Director of IDP. A couple of comments that might help address some of issues discussed: 1. we are very happy for the logo to be posted - the artist/photographer works for IDP. 2. apart from citations given in file by last post (and thanks for this) references in independent sources referring to IDP include 'The Journal of Web Librarianship' (downloadable pdf on http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~db=all~content=a903918490) and the Asian Studies Monitor, including their blog, see, for example, http://coombs.anu.edu.au/WWWVLAsian/database/2006/Monitor2006-219.html and http://asia-www-monitor.blogspot.com/2009/07/idp-international-dunhuang-project-news.html.

 * I am the aforementioned artist/photographer. I have changed the logo license to CC BY-SA 3.0. IDP is trying to make many more images available (including a better version of the Star Chart featured here) but please bear with us.Vicswift (talk) 18:02, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
