UMEM
The entire field and industry of music is broken into a number of top-level categories (e.g., composition, people, instrument, equipment, setting) and multiple levels of subcategories within each category. These categories are then used as a tag hierarchy in an XML document. ![]() The markup language document is in turn encoded in a high-density barcode such as the Chromocode. This code can be applied to a UMEM identification card for musicians. ![]() Alternately, the code can be applied to instruments or sound engineering equipment.
Entire bodies of preferences (e.g., prefered EQ settings) or other musical information (e.g., MIDI sequences) can be carried with an instrument, musician or band so as to facilitate easy--or even completely automated--engineering from venue to venue. Venues themselves may also have identification cards for quick scanning and importation of equalization settings specifically for that venue. It's a little like having a piece of fully portable, machine-readable "sheet music" for each person, place or thing in the music industry. UMEM from Inventerprise®. United States patent pending.
