Forum of the Cultural Research Data Academy: "Music – Media – Cultural Heritage: Intersections between data, research and infrastructure"

On 6th and 7th February 2025, the Cultural Research Data Academy of the NFDI4Culture consortium invites you to its next forum. The event will focus on the common challenges of the 4Culture communities of film and media studies and musicology in dealing with multimodal data from the cultural heritage sector. The forum, which will take place as a hybrid lunch-to-lunch format at the KreativInstitut.OWL (KIO) in Detmold, would like to offer a space for an exchange on challenges and problems in working with multimodal data. The aim is to encourage discussion about common formats, tools and interfaces in order to advance research and improve research data management across disciplines in a productive way. The planned inputs will therefore focus on the following topics, among others:

• Sound and image in newer digital / media cultural contexts;
• new challenges in dealing with research data, which are particularly relevant for media and film studies research projects, for film music research and for film heritage institutions;
• uniform standards for metadata, as well as an overview of heterogeneous film and film music collections, current information on tools and repositories that are essential for the sustainable handling of research data;
• Metadata on film music as an interface between (editorial) media and musicology;
• Use cases in the field of AI / generative music and media technologies; 
• Legal aspects (copyright and performance protection rights in connection with complex multimodal/audiovisual and AI-generated data).
