Issues • Diversity of organizations and structures • Diversity of software and systems • Diversity of resources • Diversity of descriptions • Diversity of languages • Rights Interoperability
How to find (and use) resources concerning contemporary music • Resources • Documents books, scores, ephemera, periodicals, articles, pictures, recordings, films… • Information events, people, organizations… • Spread • Physical in libraries, archives, museums… • Online intranets/internet, web pages, databases… • Goals • Uniform description and single-stop access seach, find, use • Reduce noise and silence “partition berlin”, “murs paris” • Provide online contents respecting rights • Don’t affect existing systems Interoperability
Diversity of providers • Archive • Conservatory • Library • MIC • Producer of events • Research center • Studio Interoperability
Diversity of resources Interoperability
Framework • Past • 1995 Dreams (Z39.50). 2004 Gateway to ethnomusicological contents. 2005 IAML talk. • 2006 • Yearly call of Culture Ministry for digitization and publication of cultural contents • Proposal by a consortium Cdmc (leader), Cité de la musique, Conservatoire de Paris, Eic, Ircam (design), Médiathèque Mahler • 2007 • Project runs and ends 100,000 records • New proposal + Acanthes, Conservatoire de Lyon, 6 centres of contemporary creation • 2008 • Project runs • eContentPlus proposal Marsel • New national proposal? Interoperability
Two distinct but interrelated projects • Digitization each partner individually • Formats of data • Description • Publication protocols • Preservations procedures • Sharing the gateway • Formats of metadata • Exchange protocols Interoperability

Principles: well-defined and relevant sources • Gateway to selected partners • Periodically retrieves only relevant metadata harvester • simple protocol OAI (Open Archive Initiative) • common metadata model and language MODS • Provides search & browse features local record, remote contents • Useful shortcuts mini thesaurus • Partners make available • The relevant metadata sets • Add a connector to each database repository • Provide metadata in adequate form • Contents as available and allowed • Referenced in the metadata • Not copied to the gateway • Differentiated access on-site / partners / everyone else Interoperability
Metadata model: simplified MODS • Derived from MARC • Humanly readable XML • Easy conversion from any schemes mostly optional “fields” • Keeps associations people/rôles, subject/author/title… • Hierarchical ad inf. • Express structure collections/items, cds/tracks, meta-events/events… • In the record/from record to record • Extensible • Instrumentation • Rights of access to contents intranet/extranet/internet • Pseudo-FRBR Interoperability

Home page: express search, agenda. Access to detailed search and other sections of the site. Interoperability
After an express search. Refine results (left), access to records (center), access to contents (right) Interoperability
Direct access to audio contents with embeded player. To see record, click on blue text. Interoperability
Detailed record. Access to original record, to audio contents. Identification of holder. Structure. Interoperability
Refinement: by type of recording (conference vs. musical work). Interoperability
Refinement: by provider (and location of physical contents or full-length audio contents). Interoperability
Refinement: by person name (composer, performers, etc.) Interoperability
Access to original record, to parent record, to MODS source. Interoperability
Source record Interoperability
Indexing the Grove as if it were a repository. Interoperability
Local record mentions access restrictions to the Grove record (subscription required). Interoperability
Example of a detailed search (of events). Other detailed search forms available. Interoperability
Online documentation of the model usedby the gateway. Interoperability
Project status • Contents • Ca. 100,000 records Google indexes 60% • Ca. 20% online contents audio video print manuscripts • Current developments • Repository for Europeana done • Multilingualism done • Fuller documentation www.musiquecontemporaine.fr/doc • Ongoing digitization METS for preservation • Genericization for gateways to other kinds of resources • Future • New partners BnF, Ina • Semantic navigation Interoperability
Europeana • Currently • Prototype 2,000,000 objects, launches November • Design of the real thing rich semantics and services • Issues • Flat model no associations, hierarchy • Too few document types text, audio, video, image • Protocols and formats OAI, ORE, SKOS, FTP… Interoperability
