In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

Abstract

Earlier work has identified the potential for reuse and reproducibility when applying workflow systems to audio analysis and Music Information Retrieval. In this paper we extend this approach with the introduction of Research Objects to capture semantic information about the use of workflows within the audio research and development process. Once aggregated, the metadata encapsulated in a Research Object can be used to manage and disseminate research output, providing a well structured foundation for meeting the needs of reproducibility. We report on the development and deployment of a software suite that practically applies this notion of Research Objects to capture the semantics surrounding the use of an audio processing workflow, and reflect upon how this might be further integrated with lower level semantics from the audio processing domain.
