The DISMARC Portal

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


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

The DISMARC metastore offers general information on the objects (the object metadata description and a short sound preview if possible), offering users an initial selection of the objects that meet their search criteria. More detailed information can then be retrieved directly from the owner of the contet, via links provided.

DISMARC aggregates digital catalogue data, and also welcomes archives which do not yet have a digitised catalogue. These archives can create a digital catalogue by adding basic collection information to the DISMARC metastore via the DISMARC collection description tool.

Users can access the metastore via a standard web browser. An authentication procedure enables individualised access.

The metastore harvests the metadata from various automated systems (providers) and provides powerful search capabilities for searching this diverse data. New metadata is harvested automatically at pre-defined intervals (usually daily). DISMARC uses the OAI Protocol for metadata harvesting (OAI-PMH).
