DISMARC - a central entry point for audio content
Dear colleagues,
This invitation is aimed at European music archives holding original and rare recordings. Whether museum, broadcaster, folk institute, university or national audio archive - any archive joining the DISMARC operation not only helps in making European audio heritage available to the public but also becomes part of the searchable European audio treasure-chest.
For researchers, broadcasters, record labels and music lovers of all kinds, the DISMARC project is a step towards the future. Currently, DISMARC is the only quality project in this field with a trans-national reach. It is a European Commission-funded programme and is led by a consortium of ten partners from seven European countries.
DISMARC is intended to encourage free exchange of information, but business applications will also emerge, such as licensing and broadcast of audio. DISMARC will function as the ‘audio pillar’ providing audio to the European Digital Library.
We invite you to join the operation and we include guidelines below.
Thank you very much and
WELCOME to DISMARC
Sincerely
Johannes Theurer
- Coordinator -
How the search works
The DISMARC search engine carries out searches in the normalized metadata of various distributed databases. The data may be searched via multilingual features and vocabularies. The portal itself also supports multilinguality.
