Furthermore, data in these systems is structured according to quite differing principles. For example, the MARC21 format has not always been followed consistently. The aim of this research group at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre (EAMT) is, taking the Estonian composer Heino Eller (1887\u20131970) as its point of departure, to map the possibilities for gathering data from existing systems, while drawing on more recent practices in the cataloguing of musical sources (<a href=\"https:\/\/rism.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RISM<\/a>). The research project can be regarded as a requirements analysis and planning stage in the process of developing a digital catalogue dedicated to Heino Eller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research project primarily makes use of three types of data\/sources: 1) Metadata on works from existing information systems (downloaded using scripts developed during the project in the Python programming language); 2) Heino Eller\u2019s manuscripts stored at the Estonian Theatre and Music Museum (part of the Estonian History Museum), digitized as PDF and TIFF; 3) Printed and typescript sources, mainly from the 1970s and 1980s, which will be digitized during the project with optical character recognition (OCR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69de27bd77ef7&quot;}\"

But what kind of information should such a catalogue contain in order to be useful to different user groups? In addressing this question, it is advisable first to examine some well-known existing online musical catalogues, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/kv.mozarteum.at\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">K\u00f6chel-Verzeichnis of Mozart\u2019s works<\/a>. In this web catalogue, users can find information on each of Mozart\u2019s works, ranging from the most basic data (classification of works, date of composition, instrumentation, etc.) to bibliographic information useful to researchers concerning manuscripts and printed music editions. The catalogue also contains recorded performances of Mozart\u2019s music and scores published in the collected works series (<a href=\"https:\/\/dme.mozarteum.at\/DME\/nma\/start.php?l=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Neue Mozart-Ausgabe<\/a>). The emphasis on audiovisual media and interactivity is an increasingly prominent trend in web-based catalogues, one that should also be taken into account when designing similar information systems dedicated to Estonian composers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-2 kt-pane497_3c8611-a4\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">2.

For example, a list of Heino Eller\u2019s works and information on manuscripts can be found on the website of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emic.ee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Estonian Music Information Centre<\/a>, descriptions of archival sources are accessible via the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.muis.ee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Museums Public Portal (MuIS)<\/a>and records of Eller\u2019s printed music editions and audio recordings are available in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ester.ee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ESTER<\/a>. Many audio and video recordings of cultural and historical significance are stored in the (digital) archive of the Estonian Public Broadcasting <a href=\"https:\/\/arhiiv.err.ee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">(ERR)<\/a> . Therefore, in seeking information on a specific work by Heino Eller, one currently needs to search across several platforms, each with quite different interfaces and levels of user experience.<br>&nbsp;<br>To meet the needs of researchers, data must be entered into information systems according to internationally agreed-upon principles. For example, ESTER records can be viewed in the widely accepted MARC21 format and exported in bulk. These records are machine-readable, as the meaning of each data field is indicated by a tag. However, sometimes this download option is not available: in such cases, the researcher must manually save and clean the data retrieved from the website. One solution is to write Python scripts, which allow HTML data to be parsed and more easily organized into Excel table columns. When data from different information systems do not align, this stage of the research project is crucial in revealing inconsistencies and errors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-3 kt-pane497_3c993a-22\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">3.

Since RISM allows detailed descriptions of musical sources according to the MARC21 standard and can include machine-readable incipits of the opening measures of the manuscripts, there is currently no viable alternative to this in Estonian information systems. At the same time, it is important to check the accuracy of the metadata in Estonian systems and supplement it if necessary.<br>&nbsp;<br>Inserting manuscript metadata into RISM is also crucial from a data management perspective: this ensures that data collections are compiled according to internationally approved practices and remain accessible. It is also worth noting that in the <a href=\"https:\/\/rism.online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RISM Online environment<\/a> data collections become public shortly after being inserted and reviewed\u2014that is, even before the subsequent stages of the research project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-4 kt-pane497_d783e3-ce\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">4.

To ensure that the digitized material (including image files in TIFF format or PDFs) is machine-readable, it must be further processed using optical character recognition (OCR) or optical music recognition (OMR) software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While rapid advances in OCR have made it largely standard practice in digital archives, OMR is still awaiting more significant development, particularly in the recognition of handwritten notation. The goal of OMR is to convert musical notation from image files into a digital music notation format (MusicXML), making it editable in notation software (such as MuseScore). OMR would therefore not only streamline the creation of musical scores for works that currently exist only in manuscripts or outdated printed editions, but also open up rich new possibilities for data-driven music analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This stage of the project requires collaboration between the EAMT research group and cultural heritage institutions, primarily the National Library of Estonia and the Estonian Theatre and Music Museum (part of the Estonian History Museum), which play a leading role in preserving and digitizing musical manuscripts. Knowledge gained from the project will allow improvements to Estonian information systems (especially MuIS) and data collections from the perspective of music culture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-6 kt-pane497_fb4996-b2\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">5.
