"Members of the public are being asked to help describe 4,000 music pieces from the Bodleian Libraries’ collections, as part of a new project launched today.
What’s the score at the Bodleian? (www.whats-the-score.org) is the first crowd-sourcing project undertaken by the Bodleian Libraries. About 4,000 pieces of popular piano music from the mid-Victorian period have been digitized and made available online. The music was mostly produced for domestic entertainment, and many of these scores have illustrated or decorative covers and advertisements. The collection has never been included in the library’s catalogue, and its exact contents are therefore unknown."

Da ausschließlich zufallsgesteuert ausgewählte Noten bearbeitet werden können, macht das nur wenig Spaß. Ich hätte z. B. einige deutsche Texte transkribiert, weil ich da sicher relativ besser beitragen könnte als der Durchschnittsengländer. Das geht aber nicht. Also ohne mich. Das Interface ist insgesamt auch etwas nervig gemacht.

Vor allem aber: Wo sind die Digitalisate der bereits bearbeiteten Stücke?
Browsen kann man nur die noch zu bearbeitenden Noten. Man lässt die Benutzer die Dreckarbeit machen und schließt dann die Digitalisate weg??
ladislaus (Gast) antwortete am 2012/05/03 19:15:
Nein, irgendwo steht, dass die Stücke in der Zukunft alle zum einfachen Download bereitgestellt werden und dann auch einfach durchsuchbar sein werden. Hoffentlich stimmt's.

No view of the data yet.
Currently there is no publicly-visible tool for viewing the transcripts, as up until this point all analysis has been done in-house by the Zooniverse staff. Most of their needs to date have been highly-specific analysis of astronomical data, so they have not needed to build a generalizable front-end.Along with image upload/processing tools and a way to navigate to the page images which interest a volunteer, a search/view tool is one of the things I have to build for FreeUKGen. If you're interested, you can follow the work at http://github.com/freeukgen/ or ping me on twitter at http://twitter.com/benwbrum . It will be many months before that work is completed and deployed, however, but our tools will be released under a free/open-source license.
Bis später.

First deployment of Scribe
This is noteworthy in part because it's the first true deployment of the Scribe tool developed by the Zooniverse team. They've released the tool as F/OSS software at http://github.com/zooniverse/scribe, and we are using it as a basis for our online transcription tool for FreeCEN and FreeREG.
