Fostering consensus between music publishers, music libraries, rights holders, broadcasters, etc., for sheet music, sound and reference. The measure is being conducted in two phases. During phase one, completed at the beginning of October 1997, three studies and a range of concertation activities were used for mapping out the current state of the art and defining priorities. Phase two, lasting 26 months, concentrates on achieving consensus in the priority areas selected as a means of developing an infrastructure for further research and development. Conferences and workshops are being held to obtain advice and feedback from other experts on the developments and ideas emerging from the concerted action and related activities.
