Hi Peter,

Great to hear from you. What a fun launch that was – definitely in another era now… National Discography is as far as I know still part of the National Sound Archive catalogue but I don’t think it’s ever quite materialised with the commercial basis that was originally envisaged. Lots of the folk involved in that original project have retired now, but there are still a few around. Godfrey Rust popped up on my radar recently if you remember him.

with best regards,

Jeremy

Jeremy,

You probably dont remember me, but I ran the promo campaign for the national Discography many years ago. What happened to it? I cant find anything about it anywhere?

best

Peter

Hi,

I am putting together a music tech startup conference planned for the 25th of February, in London named Music 4.5 – 4.5 times ROI for artists and entrepreneurs.

Your name has come up in a number of conversations, both as part of FAC and as an independent industry-player, in particular with Tim Clarke of IEMusic, and Feargal Sharkey of UK Music. Katie Allen at The Guardian gave me your number – hence the voicemail left yesterday.

It would be great to discuss with you how you and the FAC could be involved, and to hear your thoughts on the event, the topics and the suggested speakers/panellists. If we can take this over email, I am happy to send you the latest version of the event synopsis, agenda outline, background etc., in order to give a some background to Music 4.5.

It would be great if you would have time to talk or meet in the next couple of weeks to discuss this further and have your feedback on the Music 4.5, both on the format and the content.

What do you think? Could we get you to be involved?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

All the best,
/Rassami

Possibly, and Borges and the Goons, with their life-sized photographs of parts of the globe and characters who are unable to forget anything, would agree. I was merely pointing out that a sufficiency of metadata, for research purposes, needs to extend a little further, referentially, than the panel’s ‘X wrote Y, is played by Z and loved by A, B and C’

Yes, of course there is reducto ad absurdum of meta data – since if you were to try to establish a hierarchy of meta data – all of human life would be there! And it would trace a return path of relationships commencing with the originator, author or creator and culminating in the most quixotic personal element of association tagged at the individual folksonomic level (my schoolboy association of E M Forster with Swann Vesta matches) for example…

A fascinating discussion, Jeremy. I especially liked Fred’s definition of metadata as ‘the key that opens the return path’. This could be pursued further as I think later definitions of this elusive term got no further than talking about descriptive labels, either professionally applied or added by users. My favourite metadata definition is by Lorcan Dempsey (OCLC) – ’structured data that provides intelligence in support of more efficient operations on resources’. So for somewhere like the BL, having the key to the return path supports provenance and authenticity. Other kinds of metadata (administrative) describe how a resource is licensed in/out and how to navigate a complex resource (structural metadata) so that a user understands which images go with which sound and what is the preferred order of movements in a symphony, for example.
