The digital age is revolutionizing how we manage and analyze primary sources. In the field of musicology, this transformation holds particular significance as digitization converts all types of materials - from handwritten scores to audio files - into digital data, creating a unified field for managing heterogeneous documents.
The Laboratory for the Study of Greek Music at the University of Athens, responding to contemporary challenges, has developed the digital repository "Polymnia". This innovative platform goes beyond simple digital storage. "Polymnia" is a dynamic system where scores, texts, images, and sounds are interconnected in ways that expand the possibilities for research and teaching.
At the conference "The Significance of Ontologies in Digital Collections Management", I presented how data modeling and knowledge representation function as fundamental methodological approaches in the repository. I analyzed how these approaches shape a modern way of scientific thinking and data organization, facilitating interdisciplinary approaches and use of materials.
The event took place on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at the Yannis Marinos Hall of the Athens Concert Hall, under the auspices of the Friends of Music Society and the "Lilian Voudouri" Music Library.
