text: Several early music projects, such as the Stanford Josquin Project, have demonstrated
the potential for attaining valuable new musicological insights using a corpus-based
approach. However, the available musical corpora tend to be relatively small and
exhibit considerable variation in encoding practices. Aspiring corpus researchers
are confronted with a lack of suitable data, which needs to be addressed before
they can embark on their proper research. The EarlyMuse Short Term Scientific
Mission CORSICA has surveyed the current state of corpus creation and digital
editing in early music. Based on this information, it has developed a vision for
the future of corpus building in this field, which aims to speed up the production
of digital encodings while respecting the autonomy of the encoders and acknowledging
their efforts. This is important because much high-quality encoding is carried
out outside the field of professional musicology, and engaging citizen scientists
could help address the current shortage of research data. The CORSICA team‘s vision
is informed not only by a study of the available data, standards and technologies,
but also by Human-Computer Interaction, placing human goals and values before
the creation of technology and work processes. The core of the vision is that
successful corpus creation must be an inclusive endeavour in terms of both technology
and human participation. The report concludes with an implementation plan outlining
the initial steps required to realise the vision.

text: This release covers the state of this prototype app at the end of the funding
phase for the Paderborn University part of the Beethoven in the House project.
It uses https://api.domestic-beethoven.eu/ld/BithCollection.jsonld as starting
point for traversing the LOD graph, and reads data from the project pod available
from https://bith.solidcommunity.net/public/bith.ttl (which has no content at
the time of the release).

text: This dataset contains selective MEI encodings of a number of arrangements
of Beethoven’s Opp. 91, 92, and 93. These encodings were prepared in the context
of the Beethoven in the House project, jointly funded by AHRC and DFG from 2020
to 2023. It is a slight update on v1.0.0 in better organizing the release assets.
