Ricercar Data Lab - Early Music Database
Résumé
The Ricercar Lab of the Centre of Renaissance Studies (Tours, France) has gathered over the years a lot of data related to different research projects, stored in several databases and displayed through individual websites. In 2020, a single relational database especially thought for musical data was built, with a dedicated website whose aim was to display all the data gathered and to allow users to browse the data, to perform search queries and to get access to various scores in different formats. The website is built with PostgreSQL and the Python-based Web framework Django. It allows users to browse all the data in the database, which focuses on three main entities: musical works, sources and people related to works and to sources. Two forms, respectively dedicated to works and to people, allow users to perform advanced searches with different criteria. A page shows the list of projects, with for each project the list of works, sources and people related to it. Each work, source and person has a specific page with all the data found in the database about it, as well as links to external resources, such as digitisations or authority files. The available scores can be downloaded in different file formats. Scores can also be seen and played in a dedicated page, using the music notation engraving library Verovio to display the score in SVG; the MEI code and the critical apparatus are also displayed.
