In close collaboration the Fraunhofer IDMT and the Norwegian partners Artspages and Grieg Music Education will create an application with innovative content-based search tools containing recommendation mechanisms for end users. Therefore, the three partners merge their expertise in the field of metadata research (Fraunhofer IDMT), data mining and content providing (Artspages) as well as web-based E-learning applications (Grieg Music Education).

Within the environment of a music archive and supported by interactive modules the end-user will be enabled to search and retrieve specific multimedia content. On a second level, the developed application will also be offered to international search engines to implement MetaStoReas an additional service.

In a further step, new E-learning applications for students in the field of music will be developed. Students will get the opportunity to create a musical path between two songs, find new songs with similarities regarding music genre, tempo retrieval, and harmonic structure and to study evolution of popular music.

The database represents a comprehensive basis for various new applications and services to advance music sales and multimedia content on a worldwide scale.
