ABOUT

The MELD framework and implementation architecture augments and extends MEI structures with semantic Web Annotations capable of addressing musically meaningful score sections. Through its use of Linked Data, MELD deploys knowledge structures expressing relationships unconstrained by boundaries of the encoding schema, musical sub-domain, or use case context, supporting retrieval of a wide range of music information. Within the framework, music-generic structures are linked with, but separable from, components expressing domain-specific entities associated with concrete instantiations of musical segments. By use of the flexible and extensible Web Annotation model, new kinds of annotations are easily incorporated through customisation of the MELD JavaScript web-client via drop-in rendering and interaction handlers. Annotation can seamlessly reference external data sources, and can in turn be referenced for external analysis, reuse, and repurposing in other contexts.
