The RAMline – Rewriting Musical History
 |
Royal Academy of Music, United Kingdom |
Description
The RAMline is a unique multi-dimensional index of music and musicians linked to local digitized archives and other online resources, such as manuscript sources and published editions, live performances and recordings, musical criticism and comment. This index can be used to display a timeline of musical history and the life-cycle of any piece of music, from antiquity to the present, as well as to chart musical profiles of individuals and organizations. It is multi-dimensional in that the index can be explored from the perspectives of people, works, places, events, and dates; it is unique in that the connections between musicians and musical works are categorized in a rigorous yet flexible ontology which makes sense of the processes and products involved.
“The scale and nature of this project are ideal to demonstrate fully the benefits of topic maps” (Kal Ahmed, NetworkedPlanet)
