TMEuro is intended in the first place for education, research, and other non-commerical uses in the study of music and cultural history. In the second place, it acts as an 'experimenting ground' for the development of methods and techniques of information science, such as distributed systems, information retrieval, and standards of representation. In addition to the consultation of existing materials, users are stimulated to enrich existing materials, to prepare new materials and to add their knowledge. Such contributions must meet appropriate quality norms, but these must be such that pluralism and discussion are encouraged and the expression of personal views is not restricted. Costs may be charged to users, but only at a level that does not impede the access to the system.
Payment is required for commercial use.
The receipts will be used for maintenance and further development of TMEuro.
