Brainstorming on Web technologies
       and the pipeorgan DB
           Achille Peternier
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
Towards a FP7


Historical aspects       IT support




- How to access/store/modify data
- How to present the content
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
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

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.
