2 Deliverables

2.1 O1. Map the data landscape

D1.1. Economy of music in Europe: Novel data collection methods and indicators [R/SEN/MXXX]. Following the Open Policy Analysis Guidelines, this deliverable identifies critical research questions, data sources and gaps, and data collection methods regarding the economy of music in Europe. It also presents simple and composite indicators developed to measure the economy of music in Europe. The second iteration will be reviewed by selected stakeholders. The indicators will furthermore be added to the Digital Music Observatory (D5.1).13

D2.1. Music diversity and circulation: Novel data collection methods and indicators [R/SEN/MXXX]. This deliverable identifies critical research questions, data sources and gaps, and data collection methods regarding music diversity and circulation in Europe. It also presents composite indicators developed to measure music diversity and circulation. The second iteration will be reviewed by selected stakeholders14.

D3.1. Music, Society, and Citizenship: Novel data collection methods and indicators [R/SEN/MXXX]. Following the Open Policy Analysis Guidelines, this deliverable identifies critical research questions, data sources and gaps, and data collection methods regarding XXX. It also presents composite indicators developed to measure XXX. The second iteration will be reviewed by selected stakeholders. The indicators will furthermore be added to the Digital Music Observatory (D5.1)15.

2.2 O2. Bridge data gaps

D4.1. Open-source music data software ecosystem [R/SEN/MXXX]. This deliverable comprises the final iteration of an open-source, software-as-a-service (SaaS) ecosystem of tools for music data collection, which will improve and integrate the packages eurostat, regions, iotables, retroharmonize, and spotifyr. It will be tested by stakeholders and delivered in the form of an open repository with full usability documentation.

D4.2. Software Validation Report [R/SEN/MXXX]. This deliverable comprises the findings of the software validation, usability testing, and development roadmap workshops. It will follow the format of ISO/IEC 25066.

2.3 O3 Empower stakeholders to take data-driven actions

D1.2. Report on the European Music Economy [R/SEN/MXXX]. For full reproducibility and for demonstration purposes, we have already created a live document, following the Open Policy Analysis guidelines. Provided that our proposal is funded, this document will start to integrate secondary data from 2023, and start to integrate new, primary data as a “live policy document” from M17, as the primary data will appear in the pipeline16 As a deliverable, the Report on the European Music Economy describes the policy context regarding the economy of music in Europe, with a summary of the EU27+ as a whole and detailed chapters on the target countries. It includes a chapter on the Bulgarian and Hungarian pilot study design, implementation, and results. Lastly, it analyses the transfer potential of the Bulgarian and Hungarian pilot study to other European music ecosystems, as a new best practice. It is designed to be readable as a stand-alone deliverable, but the data it presents will also be integrated into the Digital Music Observatory (D5.1).

D1.2. Report on Music Diversity and Circulation in Europe [R/SEN/MXXX]. For full reproducibility and for demonstration purposes, we have already created a live document, following the Open Policy Analysis guidelines. Provided that our proposal is funded, this document will start to integrate secondary data from 2023, and start to integrate new, primary data as a “live policy document” from M17, as the primary data will appear in the pipeline17 As a deliverable, The Report on Music Diversity and Circulation in Europe describes the policy context regarding music diversity and circulation in the target countries in particular, and in Europe in general. It also describes the pilot study design, implementation, and results. Lastly, it analyses the transfer potential of the pilot study to other European music ecosystems, as a new best practice. It is designed to be readable as a stand-alone deliverable, but the data it presents will also be integrated into the Digital Music Observatory (D5.1).

D3.3. Report on Music, Society, and Citizenship in Europe [R/SEN/MXXX]. For full reproducibility and for demonstration purposes, we have already created a live document, following the Open Policy Analysis guidelines. Provided that our proposal is funded, this document will start to integrate secondary data from 2023, and start to integrate new, primary data as a “live policy document” from M17, as the primary data will appear in the pipeline18 As a deliverable, the Report on Music, Society, and Citizenship in Europe provides a detailed concert and recorded music audience comparison for all EU countries, starting from 2007, showing the participation in music (audience, amateur practices, education), as well as the role of music in social networks. The document covers the entire EU27, with national chapters in countries where we have more detailed data collection: e.g., it includes environmental, social, and governance sustainability country reports for Italy and Bulgaria, with corporate case studies, meeting the criteria set out in the European Green Deal, the Corporate Social Responsibility Directive proposal and the Sustainable Finance Package (further country chapters may be included provided local stakeholders are open to replicating the data collection using our open-source tools). It also analyses the transfer potential of the Italian pilot study to other European music ecosystems, as a new best practice. It is designed to be readable as a stand-alone deliverable, but the data it presents will also be integrated into the Digital Music Observatory (D5.1).

D4.3. Report on Music Innovation & Technology in Europe [R/SEN/MXXX]. For full reproducibility and for demonstration purposes, we have already created a live document, following the Open Policy Analysis guidelines. Provided that our proposal is funded, this document will start to integrate secondary data from 2023, and start to integrate new, primary data as a “live policy document” from M17, as the primary data will appear in the pipeline19 As a deliverable, the Report on Music Innovation & Technology in Europe describes the policy context regarding innovation and future trends in music ecosystems in Europe, with a summary of the EU27+ as a whole and detailed chapters on the target countries. It also describes the German pilot study design, implementation, and results. Lastly, it analyses the transfer potential of the German pilot study to other European music ecosystems. It is designed to act as a stand-alone deliverable, but most of its content will also be integrated into the Digital Music Observatory (D5.1) and the annual Report on the European Music Economy (2024 and 2025).

For full transparency and for demonstrating the “live policy document,” we placed a dynamic document, Economy of music in Europe: Novel data collection methods and indicators on Github with code, and an authoritative copy on the Zenodo open science repository. These documents, embargoed until the deadline of our submission, contain our proposed methodology and some examples (DMO_methodology_european_music_economy?).↩︎
