Abstract
Musical Archive Information System (MAIS) is an integration of many research efforts developed at computer music laboratory of University of Milan. It is a system to organize, manage and utilize information of a heterogeneous set of music source material. Unstructured information is retrieved by non-traditional queries such as humming or playing of a melody (content queries). This work is a development of the previous information system developed in the context of project for Teatro Alla Scala. The improvements regard the use of XML format for the representation of Musical Work and the new user inter-faces for the navigation of musical source material.
