DLI-2: Creating the Digital Music Library

该项目是建立一个数字音乐图书馆(DML)试验床。试验床将重点放在系统架构、内容表示、元数据和网络服务上。尽管该项目将解决广泛的多媒体数字图书馆问题，但它的独特之处在于它对音乐内容和互联网紧迫的当代问题采取了全面的方法，这些问题引起了公众和商业的强烈兴趣。该项目将涉及一个由多个地点的跨学科研究人员组成的大型团队。到目前为止，还没有可以与提案中提出的数字音乐图书馆相媲美的数字音乐图书馆。作为一个数字图书馆系统，DML将提供对大型音乐素材语料库的集成多媒体访问。作为一大批不同社区的研究和教育资源，该项目承诺吸引新的用途和用户需求，并在许多领域激发创造性活动。

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.
