===Roadmap for Music Information ReSearch=== The field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) has centered primarily on the analysis of sound for the purpose of more efficient search and faster access to digital collections of recorded music. The advent of web-mediated social networks has led to the evolution of music networks and numerous music-related communities. This has created a dynamic global market for digital music and collateral products and services with significant challenges and huge opportunities for exploitation. For Europe to leverage its position as a world leader in music creativity, production and mobile distribution, a programme of digital music search technology is needed in order to ensure coherent targeted support for innovation and underpin competitive strategies for maintaining European excellence. The roadmap for the future of MIR includes a framework for cooperation and co-creation across academic communities and a virtual centre of excellence for music-related and MIR-relevant studies. Within this wider context we proposed to refer to the field of MIR as Music Information ReSearch and thus widen its scope, ensuring its focus is centered on quality of experience with greater relevance to human networks and communities. '''Objectives:''' * leverage European leadership in music creativity, production and mobile distribution * build a digital economy founded on ‘uncopiable intangibles’: personalisation, interpretation, embodiment, findability, community * ensure coherent targeted support for innovation to underpin a competitive strategy for the European music industry and the future of music search * widen and deepen MIR - seen as Music Information ReSearch - based on music as a cultural construct with greater relevance to human networks and communities * provide support for multimodality, multiculturalism, multidisciplinarity, cognitive science and AI * enhance co-creativity in music search and discovery, and foster rich user Quality of Experience (QoE) enabling a multiplicity of interpretations and the emergence of new user behaviours '''Methods:''' * provide a meta-analysis of the discipline * examine applications of MIR * address emergent contexts * address major challenges * formulate research evaluation standards * contribute to industry standards * deliver innovative platforms * involve a variety of stakeholders * engage companies and researchers from outside the EU * engage the music industry in debates and events * ensure dissemination in industry and establish long-term stakeholder relationships * build a framework for virtual network of MIR excellence '''[[References]]'''
