European H2020 project Polifonia’s survey on music history

Share

Polifonia is a project funded by the EU Horizon 2020 Programme that will recreate the connections between music, people, places and events from the sixteenth century to the modern day. These findings will be available to everyone as an interconnected global database on the web – a knowledge graph – and will enhance our understanding of European musical heritage.

In the Polifonia project, an ontology network and competency questions pertaining to music history and musical cultural heritage is been developing. In this context, they are running a questionnaire and ask for your participation. You can find the survey here, it will take around 5 minutes to complete.

If you have any questions, please contact Polifonia’s consortium member KCL through albert.merono@kcl.ac.uk or jacopo.deberardinis@kcl.ac.uk.
