DLI-2: Creating the Digital Music Library

这个项目是建立一个数字音乐库（DML）的试验台。测试平台将重点关注系统架构、内容表示、元数据和网络服务。虽然该项目将解决广泛的多媒体数字图书馆问题，但它在音乐内容和互联网紧迫的当代问题上的综合方法是独一无二的，这些问题引起了强烈的公众和商业兴趣。该项目将涉及多个地点的大型跨学科研究团队。到目前为止，还没有与提案中提出的数字音乐库相媲美的数字音乐库。作为一个数字图书馆系统，DML将提供对大量音乐材料的综合多媒体访问。作为一个大型、多样化社区的研究和教育资源，该项目有望在许多领域挖掘新的用途和用户需求，并激发创造性活动。

This project is to establish a Digital Music Library (DML) testbed. The testbed will focus on system architectures, content representation and metadata and network services. Although the project will address a wide range of multimedia digital libraries issues, it is unique in it's comprehensive approach to musical content and the internet - pressing contemporary issues capturing intense public and commercial interest. The project will involve a large team of interdisciplinary researchers at multiple sites. There is as of yet no comparable digital music library to that presented in the proposal. As a digital library system, the DML will provide integrated multimedia access to a large corpus of musical material. As a research and educational resource for a large, diverse group of communities, the project promises to draw out new uses and user needs and stimulate creative activities in many areas.
