However there is now an ever more urgent need to specifically support the distinct multiple forms of music, the links between them, and the surrounding scholarly context, as required by the transformed and extended methods being applied to musicology and the wider Digital Humanities.<br class=""><br class="">The Digital Libraries for Musicology (DLfM) conference presents a venue specifically for those working on, and with, Digital Library systems and content in the domain of music and musicology. This includes Music Digital Library systems, their application and use in musicology, technologies for enhanced access and organisation of musics in Digital Libraries, bibliographic and metadata for music, intersections with music Linked Data, and the challenges of working with the multiple representations of music across large-scale digital collections such as the Internet Archive and HathiTrust.<br class=""><br class="">This, the Sixth Digital Libraries for Musicology conference, follows previous workshops in London, Knoxville, New York, Shanghai, and Paris. In 2019, DLfM is again proud to be a satellite event of the annual International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR) conference which is being held in Delft, and in particular encourages reports on the use of MIR methods and technologies within Music Digital Library systems when applied to the pursuit of musicological research.<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES<br class=""><br class="">DLfM will focuses on the implications of music for Digital Libraries and Digital Libraries research when pushing the boundaries of contemporary musicology, including the application of techniques as reported in more technologically-oriented fora such as ISMIR and ICMC.<br class=""><br class="">This will be the sixth edition of DLfM following very successful and well received previous workshops (in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018), giving an opportunity for the community to present and discuss recent developments that address the challenges of effectively combining technology with musicology through Digital Library systems and their application.<br class=""><br class="">The conference objectives are:<br class=""><ul class=""><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">to act as a forum for reporting, presenting, and evaluating this work and disseminating new approaches to advance the discipline;<br class=""></li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">to create a venue for critically and constructively evaluating and verifying the operation of Music Digital Libraries and the applications and findings that flow from them;<br class=""></li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">to consider the suitability of existing Music Digital Libraries, particularly in light of the transformative methods and applications emerging from musicology, large collections of both audio and music related data, ‘big data’ method, and MIR;<br class=""></li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">to explore how digital libraries and digital musicology can combine to offer richer online access to online music collections;<br class=""></li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">to set the agenda for work in the field to address these new challenges and opportunities.<br class=""></li></ul><br class="">TOPICS<br class=""><br class="">Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br class=""><ul class=""><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Building and managing digital music collections<br class=""></li><ul class=""><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Optical Music Recognition</li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Information literacies for Music Digital Libraries</li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Data quality assessment</li></ul><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Access, interfaces and ergonomics<br class=""></li><ul class=""><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Interfaces and access mechanisms for Music Digital Libraries</li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Identification/location of music (in all forms) in generic Digital Libraries</li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Techniques for locating and accessing music in Very Large Digital Libraries (e.g. HathiTrust, Internet Archive) and musical corpus-building at scale</li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Mechanisms for combining multi-form music content within and between Digital Libraries and other digital resources</li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">User information needs and behaviour for Music Digital Libraries</li></ul><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Musicological Knowledge<br class=""></li><ul class=""><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Music data representations, including manuscripts/scores and audio</li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Applied MIR techniques in Music Digital Libraries and musicological investigations using them</li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Extraction of musical concepts from symbolic notation and audio data</li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Metadata and metadata schemas for music</li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Application of Linked Data and Semantic Web techniques to Music Digital Libraries, and for their access and organisation</li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Ontologies and categorisation of musics and music artefacts</li></ul><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Improving data for musicology<br class=""></li><ul class=""><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Digital Libraries which enrich public access to music, music-cultural, and music-ephemera material online</li><li class="" style="margin-left: 15px;">Digital Libraries in support of musicology and other scholarly study;
