Abstract

We are working on several projects addressing the digitalization and restoration of legacy musical archives. We are dealing with several sources of musical information (audio, notation, performance, video, images, etc.). On one hand, these sources are similar to those of usual multimedia databases. On the other hand, some specific feature of legacy musical archives call for ad-hoc solutions. In legacy musical databases many relations are implied by the framework (for instance recordings of parts of the same piece), but not made explicit in the content. To address this specific feature, we propose a three-level database schema where the bottom level(source level) describes the source material; the mid level (logical level) describes explicit and implied relationships among bottom-level data; and finally, the top level (catalog level) represents the common catalog data attached to pieces (composer, conductor, data of recording). To support this methodology, we need a language to describe musical content. We survey several mark-up languages (such as SMDL and XML derived languages) and discuss their features w.r.t. our proposed layered database schema.

在DB-Web应用程序中通过标记语言描述音乐信息

我们正在开展几个项目，解决传统音乐档案的数字化和修复问题。我们正在处理音乐信息的几个来源(音频、符号、表演、视频、图像等)。一方面，这些来源类似于通常的多媒体数据库。另一方面，遗留音乐档案的某些特定功能需要特别的解决方案。在遗留的音乐数据库中，许多关系是由框架隐含的(例如同一作品的部分录音)，但在内容中没有明确表示。为了解决这个特定的特性，我们提出了一个三层数据库模式，其中底层(源级)描述源材料;中间层(逻辑层)描述底层数据之间的显式和隐含关系;最后，顶层(编目层)表示附加到曲目的公共编目数据(作曲家、指挥家、录音数据)。为了支持这种方法，我们需要一种语言来描述音乐内容。我们考察了几种标记语言(如SMDL和XML派生语言)，并根据我们提出的分层数据库模式讨论了它们的特性。
