2ND CALL FOR PAPERS



3rd International Digital Libraries for Musicology workshop (DLfM 2016)



Friday 12th August



The Avery Fisher Center for Music and Media, Bobst Library, New York University, NY, USA



Proceedings published in ACM ICPS



A satellite event of ISMIR 2016 <https://wp.nyu.edu/ismir2016/>

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.
