The Beethoven in the House Annotator App is a web-based application that provides support for creating and sharing musical commentary along with the exact fragments of the digital resources they reference.
➤ [NEW: Tutorials!]({{ site.baseurl }}/tutorials) For a walkthrough and cheat sheet, check out the [tutorial page]({{ site.baseurl }}/tutorials).
This tool is a proof of concept for writing editorial annotations as Linked Data, combining the Oxford e-Research Centre's Music Encoding and Linked Data (MELD){:target="_blank"} platform with tools developed by the Edirom Virtual Research Network (ViFE){:target="_blank"} at Paderborn University.

By displaying arrangements side-by-side, the app facilitates the identification of parallel passages in different versions of the same work. The data model developed by the project{:target="_blank"} allows such parallel passages to be linked and annotated as two manifestations of the same musical material.
Once works are selected and loaded into the display pane, a musicologist can point and click on individual notes and measures, or click and drag to select larger regions, whether the resource is a facsimile image or a rendered score encoding.
To make and save your own annotations, sign up for a free Solid pod, a decentralized Linked Data storage system. Available from SolidCommunity{:target="_blank"}.
NB: We highly recommend opening the app in a private or incognito browser window to avoid conflicts with the Solid protocol.
