Data and Technology Changes
•Web-based editorial database used by staff and committees (iBis—Internet Bibliographic Indexing System)•All data stored in Unicode•Old data clean-up (better linking, consistent field labels and content, etc.)•Delivery by XML (this week!)•Keying, storage, and display of non-Roman characters (original characters, transliterated characters, English translations)•Original-language abstracts
Current Initiatives Goal
To leverage the richness of the RILM data online to make it intuitive,
interesting, and powerful for all levels of users.
More Powerful Online Use
•Index Browse•Classification Scheme•Thesaurus (facets, international thesaurus, equivalences, visualization, etc.?)•Links with other resources (Grove, sound recordings, scores, etc.)•Exploring other technological advances to make the use of RILM more powerful, perhaps more customizable, etc…
