It will provide one access to existing digitised information and wider visibility to museums, libraries, archives, and cultural bodies. Without duplicating data, the portal will harvest metadata from several data-sources, using the protocol for metadata harvesting of OAI; metadata could be also provided to national and international super-portals. As metadata standard, Dublin Core has been adopted. On the basis of qualified DC, defined to reduce loss of information and allow a more efficient retrieval, an application profile (PICO AP) has been specially developed, introducing new types, element-refinements and encoding schemes. This metadata schema will assure interoperability and allow indexing, browsing and query functions on the ensemble of information. Through the one access point of the Portal, users will find resources from various repositories browsing by object categories, subjects, places, dates, and people.","PeriodicalId":358392,"journal":{"name":"Third International Conference on Automated Production of Cross Media Content for Multi-Channel Distribution (AXMEDIS'07)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127619781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present then the data collection process and empirical data. Also our results are more suggestive than conclusive, they show that the willingness to pay for digital music is higher without piracy and people would also buy more music if no piracy is available. We then propose a multiple regression model including multiple groups of factors as well as DRM. The results suggest that the purchasing behavior for digital music is complex whereas multiple factors have an impact on the consumer behavior.","PeriodicalId":358392,"journal":{"name":"Third International Conference on Automated Production of Cross Media Content for Multi-Channel Distribution (AXMEDIS'07)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124247539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Poolcasting users contribute to the radio with songs they own, create radio channels and evaluate the proposed music, while an automatic intelligent technique schedules each channel with a group-customised sequence of musically associated songs. The benefits of this approach are multiple: on one hand music producers can increase the exposure of their songs to specific target audiences; on the other hand, music consumers can easily discover new songs that match their preferences and group with people with whom they share similar listening experiences.","PeriodicalId":358392,"journal":{"name":"Third International Conference on Automated Production of Cross Media Content for Multi-Channel Distribution (AXMEDIS'07)","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126246925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This means that somebody viewing the content on a web site might also be redistributing that content to other people without being aware of it, which poses legal problems, as copying and making a work available to the public are exclusive rights of the copyright's owner.

Preserving them entails their digitalization and consequent accessibility in a digital format easy-to-manage. The manual process to carry out this task is very time consuming and error prone. Optical music recognition (OMR) is a form of structured document image analysis where music symbols are isolated and identified so that the music can be conveniently processed. While OMR systems perform well on printed scores, current methods for reading handwritten musical scores by computers remain far from ideal. One of the fundamental stages of this process is the staff line detection. In this paper a new method for the automatic detection of music stave lines based on a shortest path approach is presented. Lines with some curvature, discontinuities, and inclination are robustly detected. The proposed algorithm behaves favourably when compared experimentally with well-established algorithms.","PeriodicalId":358392,"journal":{"name":"Third International Conference on Automated Production of Cross Media Content for Multi-Channel Distribution (AXMEDIS'07)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128645975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
