Abstract

In this paper, a Web-based digital music library based on a three-tier architecture is presented. The digital library's primary goal is to efficiently manage distributed mp3 file collections. The proposed methodology makes use of the metadata existing inside the ID3 tag of each mp3 file. Such information is extracted from the corresponding files and stored in separate, XML-based data structures, which are part of the overall distributed information retrieval module. The digital library's actual data is kept at the back-end in a distributed fashion. Communication between the layers of the digital library and the various architectural components that reside at the middle layer is facilitated through the employment of the XML standard.
