| Abstract | In this paper, we discuss the key elements of a semantic dance-move representation model based on rule-based extractions of logical descriptions from existing Labanotation scores. This is part of a larger effort on representing and analyzing dance movement based on choreological approaches and notation systems. The main goal is to develop a Knowledge-Based System that provides functionality (a) to search by movement concepts and characteristics in a meaningful way for dance practitioners, who may not necessarily be specialists in notation or analysis, and (b) to link different manifestations of movement recordings, especially Labanotation scores. We use examples to highlight the primary and abstract representation model and outline the main challenges in interpreting and segmenting a Labanotation score to transform it in a semi-automated way into a sequence of meaningful recognizable movement concepts. We are not aiming to develop an alternative notation system, but to construct a model and methodology to access existing scores (in digital form) and exploit the underlying information about movement for further computational analysis. We take into account some existing choreological approaches, which use an analogy between dance structure analysis and morphological language studies, and identify multiple levels of describing dance and movement. Finally, we discuss limitations of our approach as well as potential uses of the "search by movement" idea and outline some theoretical observations that emerged during this work. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
