The proposed system is an object-oriented one: at any given time, the information needed to prove the legal/illegal use of the data is hidden within the data itself, whereas no attempt is made to trace previous abuses.","PeriodicalId":280252,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings First International Conference on WEB Delivering of Music.

Then, we propose a number of modifications that can be made to these methods to allow for a better application to musical analysis. To this end, we first examine the practices of musical analysis. We focus on the field of extraction of motives. A common approach to this problem is to consider repetitions; whenever some part of the musical text is repeated, it can be considered as a motive. Detecting motives can either be based on a perfect match, or on inexact matching. To this end, the concept of similarity is introduced and analysed, and its meaning is defined in the scope of musical analysis. We also deal with the problem of the representation (or encoding) of the musical text. The role of encoding and its consequences on the application of algorithms is investigated.","PeriodicalId":280252,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings First International Conference on WEB Delivering of Music.

Major ingredients of GlobeMusic were developed and exposed to a large public in the last four years. GlobeMusic and its components mainly address the following issues: computer-human interaction, individual eMusic-making, appropriate computer network protocols, musical data formats, and cooperative eMusic-making. The paper sketches the four major evolution steps of GlobeMusic because each of these steps represents a key aspect and system component.","PeriodicalId":280252,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings First International Conference on WEB Delivering of Music.

Conditions and rules formalized in the proposed approach are automatically executed by a formatting engine called MILLA (Music Intelligence Formatting Language).

The purpose of the project is to make the cultural heritage of Teatro alla Scala available in digital form and allow efficient search and retrieval. The project started in 1997 at the Laboratorio di Informatica Musicale (LIM) of the University of Milan, Italy. All tapes, as well as scores, pictures, and videos of the Teatro alla Scala have been digitized and a retrieval system has been developed: the Musical Archive Information System (MAIS), which contains, among others, audio and video material from the Scala archives. Because of the nature of the data it contains, essentially multimedia, the development of the system has posed several challenges, of which the most interesting ones are described. In particular, the organization of the data is described, with particular emphasis on the treatment of musical data, together with the tools developed to provide content-based queries on musical materials from both the intranet and Internet theatre environments.","PeriodicalId":280252,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings First International Conference on WEB Delivering of Music.

The underlying statistical watermarking method working in the Fourier domain with different test functions is investigated. The extension of this semiprivate watermarking method to enable blind detection is presented. To enable the embedding of multiple watermarks, the algorithm distributes the different watermarks in individual frequency bands. Several experiments verify the theory and show the different robustness levels of the watermarks. Enhancements and variations of the algorithm are discussed.","PeriodicalId":280252,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings First International Conference on WEB Delivering of Music.

For MIDI, the watermark is embedded in virtual notes that are generated and randomly hide among the MIDI notes. The paper also presents a method for controlling usage and protecting against copying of digital music contents and their associated players. The digital music contents and their players installed in one computer cannot be used if they are copied to another computer. Even in the same computer, the duplicated digital music contents are not usable. The usage associated to each music content will restrict the running time and times the music can be played and it will be automatically updated after each playing of the music. The digital music may not be accessible if its permitted usage has expired.","PeriodicalId":280252,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings First International Conference on WEB Delivering of Music.
