SUMMARY - Thank you in advance!

• Laurent Pugin, in his article ‘The challenge of data in digital musicology’ states that the digital technology development depends in large part on an access and a scale of research.

• The development in all disciplines in the humanities undergoes a vast change in musicology.

• The reason of the fact is that the scholars in musicology base predominantly on text-based materials.

• The field struggled for a long time with a limited availability of the sources, what caused an inclination of close-reading approaches.

• However, the digital humanities enable to locate sources easier and at the same time give an online availability to them.

• The author gives examples of some types of projects in for example: composer-specific, repertoire-oriented or library collection and describes their features and limitations.

• A challenge of digital musicology projects is question of accessing large datasets that are essential while music analysis or music searching.

• There are recited most popular and successful initiatives that took musicology to the next level but at the same time it is showed how much is to be done.

• A next important challenge, that is claimed, is optical music recognition (OMR), because the actual tools are so imperfect that it requires very often transcriptions by hand.

• While creating large datasets it is significant to consider such features as data quality or ensuring interoperability, because of the complexity and limitation that are in the field.

• A the end the author outlines ways of development and opportunities that give us digital musicology projects
