DIGITAL MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES is producing MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF DIGITAL CONTENT books, photos, maps, audio, films, and archival records from Europe s libraries, archives, museums and audio visual collections
WIDESPREAD ACCESS TO DIGITAL COLLECTIONS compromised by confusing standards and changing technologies poorly developed search and display functions
Multimedia Interoperable Model of poetry and music Sources MIMESIS APPROACH enable all users to explore digitized cultural resources with a semantic based method built on recent definitions of ontologies for cultural heritage
THE STATE OF THE ART World Digital Library (WDL) Multilingual Inventory of Cultural Heritage in Europe (MICHAEL) provide access to individual libraries, archives and museums Europeana

Projects that apply semantic technology to the field of music EASAIER Enabling Access to Sound Archives through Integration, Enrichment and Retrieval FictionFinder Provides access to over 2.9 million bibliographic records for fiction books, ebooks, and audio materials described in WorldCat Music Ontology Provides concepts and properties for describing music in the semantic Web vocabulary, for linking a wide range of music related information in sharing systems Variations3 Developed a digital music library software system which provides online access to streaming audio and scanned score images
MIMESIS Multimedia Interoperable Model of poetry and music Sources APPROACH applied to RePIM Repertorio della Poesia Italiana in Musica a digital archive of poetry and music from 1500 to 1700
Repertorio della Poesia Italiana in Musica 1500 1700 (RePIM) 3,500 1,500 musical sources literary (poetry) sources 1,300 composers 66,000 musical settings analytical description contents of poetry sources 1,300 poets 43,000 texts set to music 13,000 texts identified in literary sources
MIMESIS approach will permit researchers to trace the tradition of sixteenth to eighteenth century poetic texts set to music: for each work (abstract work), the model will allow for the identification of its morphological anatomy and its tradition horizontal scan the articulation in parts, sections, stanzas, quatrains, tercets, etc. chronological scan that is, the different versions and forms the work has assumed over time
Giovan Tommaso Cimello, Libro primo de canti a4voci, Venezia, 1548 (NV 0578) Chi volesse saper che cosa è Amore, canti di voi le lodi: io non so dir parole. Apri la porta o mori, Deh, dolce pastorella, che giova saettar un che si more, perché più acerba sei e più rubella, proverbio ama chi t ama è fatto antico, che dolce più, che più giocondo stato, m'alcun non può saper da chi sia amato. Il primo libro de madrigali de diversi autori (RISM 1542 17 ) 1. Chi volesse saper che coss'è amore e com'apunto se diping'o scriva (A. Willaert) 2. Canti di voi le lode chi vostri sguardi e pensier vostri gode (H. Naich) 3. Io non so dir parole né tanto ninfeggiar né far l'amore (D. Ferrabosco) 4. Apri la porta ormai dolce mia pastorella (Yvo) 5. Deh dolce pastorella vaga leggiadra e bella (Yvo) 6. Che giova saettar un che si more o iniquitoso e dispietato arciero (H. Naich) 7.
Descriptive data contained in RePIM Names and professional details of the poet, composer, dedicatee, editor, etc.; descriptions of each abstract work, understood as the intellectual or artistic creation free from material entities, and of all its particular manifestations (the various versions of the text); bibliographic descriptions of the poetic and musical collections to which the various manifestations of the work belong; references to single examples of the various manifestations, and to the contents themselves (digital images of sources, transcriptions of the poetic texts, musical texts, audio files in MIDI and MP3 formats); list and description of the various libraries in which single examples from the poetic and musical collections are conserved; bibliographic and discographic information
With this repertory it will be possible to query numerous digital collections at the same time, and access the content on the Web. This will represent a huge step forward in the state of the art. This project will develop scalable semantic based algorithms and techniques for exploiting massive distributed repositories and analyzing large volume data streams for actionable knowledge. In particular, it will support semiautomatic semantic annotation of heterogeneous media forms: video, audio, images, etc. The library will explicitly address interoperability with other European initiatives, and in particular with Europeana. All the content and the metadata created in the project will be accessible as well through the Europeana portal.

Le cose volgari di Messer Francesco Petrarca Venezia, Aldo Manuzio, 1501 c.1r Uoi; ch ascoltate in rime sparse il suono Di quei sospiri, ond io nudriua il core In sul mio primo giouenile errore, Quand era in parte altr huom da quel, ch i sono; Del uario stile, in ch io piango et ragiono Fra le uane speranze e l uan dolore; Oue sia, chi per proua intenda amore, Spero trovare pieta, non che perdono. Ma ben ueggi hor, si come al popol tutto Fauola fui gran tempo: onde souente Di me medesmo meco mi uergogno: Et del mio uaneggiar uergogna è l frutto, E l pentirsi, e l conoscer chiaramente Che quanto piace al mondo è breue sogno.
