PROGRAMME
The programme will be published on the workshop site
<http://www.t-mus.org/dlfm/> in the last week of July.
BACKGROUND
Many Digital Libraries have long offered facilities to provide
multimedia content, including music. However there is now an ever more
urgent need to specifically support the distinct multiple forms of
music, the links between them, and the surrounding scholarly context,
as required by the transformed and extended methods being applied to
musicology and the wider Digital Humanities.
The Digital Libraries for Musicology (DLfM) workshop presents a venue
specifically for those working on, and with, Digital Library systems
and content in the domain of music and musicology. This includes Music
Digital Library systems, their application and use in musicology,
technologies for enhanced access and organisation of musics in Digital
Libraries, bibliographic and metadata for music, intersections with
music Linked Data, and the challenges of working with the multiple
representations of music across large-scale digital collections such
as the Internet Archive and HathiTrust.
This, the third Digital Libraries for Musicology workshop, is a
satellite event of the annual International Society for Music
Information Retrieval (ISMIR) conference, and in particular encourages
reports on the use of MIR methods and technologies within Music
Digital Library systems when applied to the pursuit of musicological
research.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
DLfM will focus on the implications of music on Digital Libraries and
Digital Libraries research when pushing the boundaries of contemporary
musicology, including the application of techniques as reported in
more technologically oriented fora such as ISMIR and ICMC.
This will be the third edition of DLfM following a very successful and
well received workshop at Digital Libraries 2014, and then at JCDL
2015, giving an opportunity for the community to present and discuss
recent developments that address the challenges of effectively
combining technology with musicology through Digital Library systems
and their application.
The workshop objectives are:
- to act as a forum for reporting, presenting, and evaluating this
work and disseminating new approaches to advance the discipline;
- to create a venue for critically and constructively evaluating and
verifying the operation of Music Digital Libraries and the
applications and findings that flow from them;
- to consider the suitability of existing Music Digital Libraries,
particularly in light of the transformative methods and
applications emerging from musicology, large collections of both
audio and music related data, 'big data' method, and MIR;
- to set the agenda for work in the field to address these new
challenges and opportunities.
TOPICS
Topics of interest for the workshop include but are not limited to:
- Music Digital Libraries.
- Applied MIR techniques in Music Digital Libraries and musicological
investigations using them.
- Techniques for locating and accessing music in Very Large Digital
Libraries (e.g. HathiTrust, Internet Archive).
- Music data representations, including manuscripts/scores and audio
- Interfaces and access mechanisms for Music Digital Libraries.
- Digital Libraries in support of musicology and other scholarly
study; novel requirements and methodologies therein.
- Digital Libraries for combination of resources in support of
musicology (e.g. combining audio, scores, bibliographic,
geographic, ethnomusicology, performance, etc.)
- User information needs and behaviour for Music Digital Libraries.
- Identification/location of music (in all forms) in generic Digital
Libraries.
- Mechanisms for combining multi-form music content within and
between Digital Libraries and other digital resources.
- Information literacies for Music Digital Libraries.
- Metadata and metadata schemas for music.
- Application of Linked Data and Semantic Web techniques to Music
Digital Libraries, and for their access and organisation.
- Optical Music Recognition.
- Ontologies and categorisation of musics and music artifacts.
