Music transcriptions of over 4,000 traditional songs and melodies in symbolic formats (MIDI, MusicXML and MEI) were added to the library together with rich metadata adapted to Dublin Core standard. Both transcriptions and metadata were created by expert musicologists based on a published anthology book series on Polish traditional music. Subsequent library integration with the Polish metadata aggregator (Digital Libraries Federation) enabled improved folk tunes discovery thanks to implemented melodic-content search.}, pages = {30-34}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85178348049&doi=10.1145%2f3625135.3625150&partnerID=40&md5=c26ac4900093997e23c6cd550112f13b}, doi = {10.1145/3625135.3625150}, }
