MuSO: Aggregation and Peer Review in Music

This is the white paper submitted to the National Endowment for the Humanities“MuSO: Aggregation and Peer Review in Music” was a project that laid the foundation for a virtual research environment (VRE) dedicated to music. It explored ways in which such an environment could draw from and contribute to existing VREs in the fields of history and literature. The MuSO (Music Scholarship Online) project considered the descriptive metadata needed for digital projects in music to become interoperable with these existing resources and proposed a peer reviewing mechanism that would provide quality control for the projects that would be aggregated by the MuSO VRE.National Endowment for the Humanitie
