ISVG Database
The core of ISVG's daily operations is the ISVG Relational Database. Collectors scour news and other media from around the world, harvesting incidents of interest for content analysis and entry into the database. This human-centric collection methodology allows ISVG to be certain of incident relevance before entry, and provides more complete information than could a machine centric model.
