EN Digital Libraries Federation (FBC), the largest Polish aggregator in the cultural heritage domain, has recently been redesigned to enable full-text and melodic-content search functionalities aimed at improving the discovery and content-based retrieval of over 45k sheet music objects aggregated in FBC. Enabling music content retrieval required implementing three key changes to the FBC operations workflow: i) adapting its Solr search engine to process MEI documents; ii) adding AI-based Optical Music Recognition framework that converts the results to the MEI format to be processed by Solr; and iii) creating a brand new user interface for entering melodic queries and search results presentation.
