- Abstract
In 2006, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts Library began the process of digitizing its Chinese orchestral collection. A project to design metadata for the digital scores with instrumental parts was launched in September 2006 and completed in May 2007, at the suggestion of, and with the active collaboration of the University of Hong Kong. This paper provides a literature review; describes the data structure considerations, data sheet design process, survey of user needs and search fields, and the findings and analyses. Recommendations for the compositions' metadata and structure of the score data sheets are proposed, which may become standards for cataloging Chinese music scores with instrumental parts.
