Abstract:Metadata is an integral component of preservation and
an essential part of the audio object. Sound recordingswithout
associated metadata are incomplete and might not be properly
interpreted, understood, or managed.Meaningful access depends on
effective linkage to information stored as metadata. This workshop
explores the past,present, and future of metadata standards in
archives and preservation. Tom Miller discusses methods and
problemsinvolved with studying and digitizing ethnographic wax
cylinders and other cultural resources trapped in archaicmedia.
Chris Lacinak analyzes recent studies and advancements focusing on
embedded metadata, or metadatastored in the file itself. Holger
Grossman offers new ways of globally linking cross-cultural digital
music cataloguesfor purposes of licensing, sales, and
ethnomusicological research. The presentations touch on conceptual
issues aswell as technical approaches to extracting and associating
descriptions such as: delineating segment borders,categorizing
annotations from a diverse array of sources, the use of
personalized tags, and the evolution of musicsimilarity rankings.
We will consider the possibilities for capturing and interrelating
different semantics of cognitivemusic perception, sociomusical
effects produced by the algorithmic analysis of style, hybrid
techiques combiningpersonal classifications with automated systems,
and the future of standardization.
