MUCOSA (Music Content Semantic Annotator) is an

metadata at different levels of abstraction. It is composed
of three tiers: an annotation client that deals with microannotations
(i.e. within-file annotations), a collection
tagger, which deals with macro-annotations (i.e. acrossfiles

which manages large-scale annotation tasks that can
be shared among different research centres. The annotation
client is an enhanced version of WaveSurfer, a
speech annotation tool. The collection tagger includes
tools for automatic generation of unary descriptors, invention
of new descriptors, and propagation of descriptors
across sub-collections or playlists. Finally, the collaborative
annotation subsystem, based on Plone, makes
possible to share the annotation chores and results between
several research institutions. A collection of annotated
songs is available, as a “starter pack” to all the individuals
or institutions that are eager to join this initiative.
