Abstract

To enable users from outside the music information retrieval and programming community to access the large amounts of data which has been collected in databases, and to aid in interdisciplinary collaboration, experience at the University of Glasgow has shown that data must be presented in an informative yet accessible fashion. New rich interactive interfaces to musical performance data require multiple views of related data: score, audio, video etc. The nature of interdisciplinary research means that collaborators are often situated in disparate locations us- ing many different tools and systems. The current work aims to integrate data in formats which are already in use and which applications already support. Performance MarkupLanguage (PML) offers the capability to integrate this data. It operates at the level above data storage, at the level of data integration, enabling gestures and performance events expressed in many disparate data sources to be consolidated into a single entity. By combining PML and the data sources into a widely used compression format, we encapsulate the multifarious data into an easily transported form whilst preserving the accessibility of that data.
