The Polifonia Ecosystem is a collection of components for developing intelligent applications leveraging musical cultural heritage. The ecosystem consists of data, methods and tools supporting discovery, extraction, encoding, interlinking, classification, exploration of and access to musical heritage knowledge on the Web. Polifonia Ecosystem components are both independent — they have some value on their own — and interlinked — they can be used together in order to satisfy specific end-user needs.
The first release of the Polifonia Ecosystem includes requirements specifications, software, data, and tools produced during the first year of the Polifonia project. The release includes: Persona (19), Stories (28), Services (2), Schema (1), Repository (3), UI (1), Library (2), Dataset (3), Corpus (1), CLI tool (2).
Some of the highlights are:
Ceol Rince na hÉireann (Corpus): 1,224 traditional Irish dance tunes, each of which is represented as a monophonic MIDI file. Read more
Amy#1_OrganTrends (Story). For her next research project, Amy wants to discover artistic and technical trends of organs and how these developed. The development of these trends could possibly indicate wider social trends. Read more
