CPDL data dump
Posted: 25 May 2018 09:26
Dear everyone,
I'm a (digital) librarian fro Italy, and I'm involved with Medialibrary, a digital library that hosts a collection of open/free educational content.
You can explore it here: http://openmlol.it/
We work a lot with schools, and some music teachers expressed interest in your content, especially classical choral music: what we do is simply harvest the metadata and link to your site, explicitly recognizing attribution and the right license.
As I've spent weeks, few years ago, downloading metadata via API from IMSLP, I was wondering if by any chance there is somewhere a dump of the db, or some CSV/XML/JSON: I don't need the most up to date, but of course that would save me a lot of work.
The problem with the API is always to parse the wikipage afterwards, and my experience is that it's always complicated and never consistent (I've been a wikipedian for more than a decade...)
Thanks in advance
(and keep up the awesome work!)
