Research paper thumbnail of Polyphonic Score Retrieval Using Polyphonic Audio Queries: A Harmonic Modeling Approach

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Oct 13, 2002

As humming in multiple voices is quite difficult, the task is more accurately described as "query by audio example", onto a collection of scores. To our knowledge, we are the first to use polyphonic audio queries to retrieve from polyphonic symbolic collections. Furthermore, as our results will show, we will not only use an audio query to retrieve a known-item symbolic piece, but we will use it to retrieve an entire set of real-world composed variations on that piece, also in the symbolic format. The harmonic modeling approach which forms the basis of this work is a new and valuable technique which has both wide applicability and future potential.V

These new types and methods of research are supported by various technology e-infrastructures (network, computational and data) and online research environments. This chapter discusses these new technologies and the changes, potential and challenges, which these provide to the research community and practice.

Research paper thumbnail of UKRI JASMINx expansion: User need analysis

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Mar 31, 2022

Digital technologies play a vital role in supporting an inclusive and collaborative research and ... more Digital technologies play a vital role in supporting an inclusive and collaborative research and innovation ecosystem across the UK and internationally. Digital research infrastructure underpins workflow efficiency and helps researchers to maximise the public and economic benefit and impactful outputs of their research, supporting the UK research sector to remain resilient, sustainable, inclusive and collaborative. The UK research policy landscape continues to change at pace. A culture supportive of team-based research and a need for greater multi-disciplinarity and impact in response to urgent societal challenges, grows in focus. Building equality, diversity and belonging into research and innovation is critical. A focus on reducing bureaucracy, international pressures on research funding and growing net-zero imperatives are increasingly important. Acceleration of the need for digital infrastructure capacity in response to a wider range of, and more interconnected research domains, as well as increasing the scale, volume and complexity of data, available to and created as part of research, remains a key strategic driver. JASMIN is a large data-intensive computing facility built to support the NERC environmental science community designed for potential expansion to service other communities within UKRI. UKRI contracted Jisc in February 2022 to support the evaluation of this potential expansion. The project team developed a structured interview approach in order to enable comparability across interviews. The aim was to achieve a detailed understanding of research project workflows and derive an overview of the critical considerations, activities and facilities and the level of their coordination. Focus was placed on the research course from hypothesis definition and team configuration and on to project completion and output management. Questions were posed which enable interviewees to detail their research, research leadership, funding and commissioning of infrastructure and the ways in which they coordinated and accessed data and digital infrastructure resources for research. The project team was gratified by the response to their call for participation. Researchers, research infrastructure and facility leads, and research funders gave their time and engaged with the project. The project team wish to acknowledge a very pleasing element of many of the interviews conducted, which was the openness and enthusiasm of the interviewees. They were generally passionate and highly motivated about research data, its management and analysis, and so were very keen to be involved in this piece of work. Where they had knowledge of JASMIN they felt it was a good model with strong crossdiscipline possibilities. Many were also eager to see the results of this work and willing to be involved in future activity to assess the potential for expanded provision of research infrastructure.

These changes are impacting stakeholders across several countries differently. Among many challenges the academic community is facing, a prominent one is how to efficiently coordinate research activities from multiple disciplines, based on different skills and organized in several countries. The OPERAS research infrastructure approaches the coordination challenge in a transition to Open Science context, particularly for the humanities and social sciences.

The team provide an analysis of where we are now, looks at future trends, challenges and issues of sustainability and explores the strategies and approaches that are evolving to deal with the new environment. An effective digital infrastructure allows for the appropriate creation, management and exploitation of information resources and services to enable effective and high quality research and education. The focus is on supporting innovative abnd effective research and learning throught the development and implementation of a digital infrastructure for higher education. The experience and knowledge base of JISC's Digital Infrastructure team is placed in a wider context to enable practitioners, service planners and users alike to e...

We propose using UDDI and WS-Inspection as sources of information about UK e-Science projects and also show how individual projects might use the same technology. Examples of the latter are the CCLRC Integrated e-Science Environment (IeSE) and EPSRC's MyGrid, DiscoveryNet and Comb-e-Chem projects. These show how UDDI could be used within a single e-Science project for discovery of its own businessEntities and services by high-level components such as applications and portals. APIs are available to access this information in e-Science applications. We believe that providing interfaces to e-Science projects using Web services which are, or are likely to become, standards, such as UDDI and WS-Inspection, will facilitate commercial uptake. i ii A partly moderated top-level service would build confidence, allow for testing but still provide the capability to register with the worldwide Universal Business Registry using the "publisherAssertion" capability to establish relationships. This will become important as projects become mature and wish to expose their services to international partners. It nevertheless remains to be seen how the proposed services could be accessed via the so-called "tModels". This document may from the basis of a UK e-Science UDDI registry policy document, see Chapter 9 of the UDDI v3 Specification [14].
