2. Towards a FP7
? A new international platform for all
– Lesson learned from previous (national)
experiences
– Consensus
– Using modern technologies
? Definition of standards
– Categorizing instruments
– Storing the information
3. Towards a FP7
Historical aspects IT support
- How to access/store/modify data
- How to present the content
4. Standards
? Create a group of experts to define a universal
categorization standard for pipeorgans
– The world is full of standards: ISO, JPEG, PDF, etc.
? What information to collect and how?
? How robust it is?
– Test the standard against worst-cases
5. Standards
? A standard allows us to:
– Easily share data and concepts
? Organ builders and software designers working under the
same roof
– Automatic data processing:
? Define a file format
? Build compatible DBs
? Build adapters to export/import to/from the standard
– Future generations will complain and improve the
standard (iteration) ?
? Make it extendable
15. How to?
? Two static elements:
– Location
? Churches, organ builders’ workshops, concert halls, private houses,
etc.
– Time
? A specific moment
? Two dynamic elements:
– Bricks
? Can be anything: a stop, a kind of keyboard, a kind of temperament,
an organ body, a location within the church, etc.
? Are stored in a tree
– Actions
? Are the glue among atoms, locations and time.
? Can be add, remove, relocate, modify, destroy, etc.
