BACKGROUND
Many Digital Libraries have long offered facilities to provide multimedia content, including music. However there is now an ever more urgent need to specifically support the distinct multiple forms of music, the links between them, and the surrounding scholarly context, as required by the transformed and extended methods being applied to musicology and the wider Digital Humanities. The Digital Libraries for Musicology (DLfM) workshop presents a venue specifically for those working on, and with, Digital Library systems and content in the domain of music and musicology. This includes Music Digital Library systems, their application and use in musicology, technologies for enhanced access and organisation of musics in Digital Libraries, bibliographic and metadata for music, intersections with music Linked Data, and the challenges of working with the multiple representations of music across large-scale digital collections such as the Internet Archive and HathiTrust. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: 27th June 2014 (23:59 UTC-11) Notification of acceptance: 30th July 2014 Registration deadline for one author per paper: 11th August 2014 (14:00 UTC) Camera ready submission deadline: 11th August 2014 (14:00 UTC) WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES DLfM will focus on the implications of music on Digital Libraries and Digital Libraries research when pushing the boundaries of contemporary musicology, including the application of techniques as reported in more technologically oriented fora such as ISMIR and ICMC. DLfM also provides a venue for reflecting upon and and reassesing Music Digital Libraries more than a decade since the last dedicated workshop on “Music Information Retrieval (MIR) and Music Digital Library (MDL) Evaluation”, held at JCDL 2002, which was instrumental in the development and evaluation of technical methods now widespread in these research communities. The workshop objectives are: - to act as a forum for reporting, presenting, and evaluating this work and disseminating new approaches to advance the discipline; - to create a venue for critically and constructively evaluating and verifying the operation of Music Digital Libraries and the applications and findings that flow from them; - to consider the suitability of existing Music Digital Libraries as they have evolved over the last decade since the JCDL 2002 workshop, particularly in light of the transformative methods and applications emerging from musicology; - to set the agenda for work in the field to address these new challenges and opportunities. TOPICS Topics of interest for the workshop include but are not limited to: - Music Digital Libraries. - Music data representations, including manuscripts/scores and audio - Interfaces and access mechanisms for Music Digital Libraries. - Digital Libraries in support of musicology and other scholarly study; novel requirements and methodologies therein. - Digital Libraries for combination of resources in support of musicology (e.g. combining audio, scores, bibliographic, geographic, ethnomusicology, performance, etc.) - User information needs and behaviour for Music Digital Libraries. Identification/location of music (in all forms) in generic Digital Libraries. - Techniques for locating and accessing music in Very Large Digital Libraries (e.g. HathiTrust, Internet Archive). - Mechanisms for combining multi-form music content within and between Digital Libraries and other digital resources. - Information literacies for Music Digital Libraries. - Metadata and metadata schemas for music. - Application of Linked Data and Semantic Web techniques to Music Digital Libraries. - Optical Music Recognition. - Ontologies and categorisation of musics and music artefacts. SUBMISSIONS We invite full papers (up to 8 pages) or position papers (up to 3 pages). Papers will be peer reviewed by 2-3 members of the programme committee. Please produce your paper using the ACM template and submit to DLfM on EasyChair by 27th June 2014 (see IMPORTANT DATES above). We are seeking inclusion of our proceedings in the ACM Digital Library and this will be announced on the workshop website if forthcoming. All submitted papers must: - be written in English; - contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses; - be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings template with a font size no smaller than 9pt; - be in PDF (make sure that the PDF can be viewed on any platform), and formatted for A4 size. It is the authors’ responsibility to ensure that their submissions adhere strictly to the required format. Submissions that do not comply with the above guidelines may be rejected without review. Please note that at least one author from each accepted paper must attend the workshop to present their work, and in addition must be registered for the workshop by 11th August 2014 (see IMPORTANT DATES above).
