Sustainability of ‘live electronic’ music in the Integra project

In this paper we describe a new XML file format and a database schema designed for the storage of performance data and meta-data relating to live electronic music. We briefly describe the architecture of the Integra environment, and give examples of the hierarchical modelling of Integra classes. The separation of module definition, module instance data and module implementation data is presented as one of the key components of the Integra system. The libIntegra library is proposed as a means for supporting the file formats in target applications.
