Canarie

2020 to 2023

Under the CANARIE research grant, we were given the opportunity to create the Overture Data Management system, which simplifies the Overture setup and removes technical barriers by bundling the core components (Song, Score, Maestro, Arranger and Ego) together and making it easy for both large and small projects to install, configure, and deploy these services.

Canarie funded the development of the following:

  • The creation of the Overture DMS.
  • The DMS Command Line Tool
  • The DMS-UI which provides a hosted login page, user profile, and customizable UI.
  • Improved documentation to help DMS administrators
