To move beyond basic OAI services requires community agreement on potential user needs, data standards, special software capabilities, and data conversion and mapping strategies to support a useful Service Provider. This project tests collaboration in designing a specialized OAI Service for Sheet Music. It will also test the value of such a service as a research tool for music and other communities.

Sheet music is a rich resource for scholars in a number of disciplines, but unlocking its potential has proved a daunting task for the custodians of these collections. Resources have been expended to provide access to sheet music on a local level, and it is the interoperability with this existing metadata, as well as new data with digital images linked, that this project addresses. Other questions addressed include:

  • Is unqualified Dublin Core too simplistic?
  • Can usability testing and focus groups identify areas in which the data model can be standardized and enriched?
  • Can we effectively incorporate qualified DC and/or authority control over data gathered from multiple sources?

    This session will demonstrate and discuss the process and preliminary results of Phase One of the project and outline the next phase.
