<p><em>November 2017 update:</em> This server has recently been revived at the Centre for Digital Music following a period of downtime. Many of the datasets have been restored, mostly using a default ClioPatria server viewing static data (i.e. datasets that were originally dynamic are now old static snapshots). Some datasets have been officially retired. More details are below.</p>
