The Cherubic Hymn and the digital documentation of Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae and of the Institute of Byzantine Musicology: first presentation

The preservation of cultural heritage with the use of new technologies began at the end of the 20th and at the threshold of the 21st century. When Tim Berners Lee created the Web in 1989, researchers were immediately talking about a digital divide. Thirty years later, we are talking about a knowledge gap, that is, information management chaos. The point is that we have to put the data in some "grammatical and syntactic rules", so that we can identify what we are looking for in a reasonable time. Based on this logic we created the EBRAIN database, which is capable of hosting a huge amount of data and is trying to cure the sciences of Byzantine Musicology, Theology and Philology. In 2020, EBRAIN had two big cooperations with the Institute of Byzantine Musicology and Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae. In the presentation we will show the services of the Ebrain and especially we will present examples about the Cherubic Hymn in the database of Ebrain.
