Music Information Retrieval Annotated Bibliography Website Project, Phase I

Music information retrieval (MIR) as a nascent discipline is blessed with a multi-disciplinary group of people endeavoring to bring their respective knowledge-bases and research paradigms to bear on MIR problems. Communication difficulties across disciplinary boundaries, however, threaten to impede the maturation of MIR into a full-fledge discipline. The principal causes of the communications breakdown among members of the MIR community are a) the lack of bibliographic control of the MIR literature; and, b) the use of discipline-specific languages and methodologies throughout that literature. This poster abstract reports upon the background, framework, goals and ongoing development of the MIR Annotated Bibliography Website Project. This project is being undertaken to specifically address and overcome these bibliographic control and communications issues.
