MIMESIS approach will permit researchers to trace the tradition of sixteenth to eighteenth century poetic texts set to music: for each “work” (abstract work), the model will allow for the identification of its morphological anatomy and its tradition horizontal scan
the articulation in parts, sections, stanzas, quatrains, tercets, etc.
chronological scan
that is, the different versions and forms the work has assumed over time

Chi volesse saper che cosa è Amore,

canti di voi le lodi:
io non so dir parole.
Apri la porta o mori,
Deh, dolce pastorella,
che giova saettar un che si more,
perché più acerba sei e più rubella,
proverbio “ama chi t’ama” è fatto antico,
che dolce più, che più giocondo stato,
m'alcun non può saper da chi sia amato.

Descriptive data contained in RePIM
Names and professional details of the poet, composer, dedicatee, editor, etc.; descriptions of each abstract work, understood as the intellectual or artistic creation free from material entities, and of all its particular manifestations (the various versions of the text); bibliographic descriptions of the poetic and musical collections to which the various manifestations of the work belong; references to single examples of the various manifestations, and to the contents themselves (digital images of sources, transcriptions of the poetic texts, musical texts, audio files in MIDI and MP3 formats); list and description of the various libraries in which single examples from the poetic and musical collections are conserved; bibliographic and discographic information
MIMESIS A Semantic‐based Approach for a Digital Library of Poetry in Music
With this repertory it will be possible to query numerous digital collections at the same time, and access the content on the Web. This will represent a huge step forward in the state‐of‐the‐art. This project will develop scalable semantic‐based algorithms and techniques for exploiting massive distributed repositories and analyzing large volume data streams for actionable knowledge. In particular, it will support semiautomatic semantic annotation of heterogeneous media forms: video, audio, images, etc. The library will explicitly address interoperability with other European initiatives, and in particular with Europeana. All the content and the metadata created in the project will be accessible as well through the Europeana portal.

Le cose volgari
di Messer Francesco Petrarca
Venezia, Aldo Manuzio, 1501
c.1r
Uoi; ch’ascoltate in rime sparse il suono
Di quei sospiri, ond’ io nudriua il core
In sul mio primo giouenile errore,
Quand’era in parte altr’ huom da quel, ch’ i sono;
Del uario stile, in ch’ io piango et ragiono
Fra le uane speranze e’l uan dolore;
Oue sia, chi per proua intenda amore,
Spero trovare pieta, non che perdono.
Ma ben ueggi’ hor, si come al popol tutto
Fauola fui gran tempo: onde souente
Di me medesmo meco mi uergogno:
Et del mio uaneggiar uergogna è’l frutto,
E ’l pentirsi, e ’l conoscer chiaramente
Che quanto piace al mondo è breue sogno.
