"The IMDBP is the new offspring of the established IMSLP/Petrucci Music
Library <http://imslp.org/>, and is still very much a work in progress.
Currently it hosts all the work information used by IMSLP.

[...]

There are three goals of the IMDBP.

   - IMDBP strives to categorize every single piece of music ever written in
   a format that is

   1. Flexible, extensible
   2. Thorough, uncompromising detail
   3. Efficient and intuitive to use for the average user, including the
   elimination of duplicate information entry and other potential
   inconsistencies

   - IMDBP also strives to be a place to discuss music, and software that
   facilitates this in the most user friendly manner is in planning.

   - IMDBP will also supply the information to other websites, such as the
   IMSLP, that requests it. This will ensure that there is no duplication of
   information, and avenues of potential inconsistencies, across such websites.

*If you have any suggestions, or would like to help in building this
website, please e-mail feldmahler {at} imslp.org*"
