The DISMARC Portal

DISMARC is a gateway to freely available (rare) audio-content and discographic information located in music archives and collections.


The project offers to audio content institutions the opportunity to submit audio data (optionally with copyright-free audio samples attached) and collection information for the display on the Dismarc metadata plattform.

The metastore offers concise general information on the objects (the object metadata description and a short sound preview if possible), thus allowing users an initial selection of the objects that attract their attention. More detailed information (the original data) can then be retrieved directly from the supplying partner.

DISMARC is not excluding archives that can not yet provide digitized catalogue data of their objects. These archives can add basic information on their collections to the DISMARC metastore via the DISMARC collection description tool.

Users can access the metastore via a standard Web browser. An authentication procedure enables individualized access.

The metastore harvests the metadata from any different automated systems (providers) and provides powerful search capabilities for searching this diverse data. This eliminates the need to know how to search objects in individual systems. New metadata is harvested automatically in pre-defined intervals (each day). DISMARC uses the OAI Protocol for metadata harvesting (OAI-PMH).
