Observatories and a European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage

Private Digital Infrastructure, Observatories, and a European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage

Problem statement

The "Report on a European collaborative cloud for cultural heritage: Ex -- ante impact assessment" doesn't mention music, only talks about recorded sound, for example, for increasing the enjoyability of immersive technologies (VR/AR/XR). The Europeana Sounds project ran from February 2014 to January 2017. Although Europeana Sounds, based at the British Library, continues to be an aggregator for audio and audio-related material for Europeana, a quick search for recorded music in Europeana Music Art/activity of creating art using sound, brings up only 14,252 hits. For comparison, CISAC's global database holds information with pristine metadata about 52 million music works identified with the ISO 15707:2001 standard International Standard Work Code. CISAC is the world's largest network in the creative sector, with 225 societies in 116 countries. To make another comparison: in 2022, 213,000 artist, new creators, performers of authentic folk or classical music, and many others made at least ten new recordings available, resulting on a growth of more than 2 million available music recordings. More music becomes available digitally on a day than the entire body of music that can be found in Europeana.
