An approach for developing a mobile accessed music search integration platform

We introduce the architecture and the data model of the software for integrated access to music searching web services. We illustrate our approach by developing a mobile accessed application which allows users of Android running touch screen devices accessing several music searchers including Musipedia, Music Ngram Viewer, and FolkTuneFinder. The application supports various styles of music input query. We pay special attention to query style transformation aimed to fit well the requirements of the supported searching services. By examples of using developed tools we show how they are helpful while discovering citations and similarity in music compositions.
