Crawling, extracting, processing and providing data on Livestream Events or Online Events becomes more and more important to our customers and their licensing business. Specifically during the COVID-19 Pandemic while all the restrictions and lockdowns are in place online events are the only opportunity for most artists to perform their music at all. So this kind of live performances is currently developing quite fast. Existing plattforms continuously increase the number of events and quite a few new plattforms emerge worldwide. With the current release of MESLIS we added more digital source for crawling and extracting all required data on those Livestream Events worldwide. Please find a short list of new features, functions and fixes we shipped today.

We started MESLIS WebApp in 2018 with a Search Events feature as main use case for our clients. It very soon became clear that different customers have different starting points and apply different workflows for their licensing business. Some customers asked us whether it is possible to also have a Search Location feature in addition to the existing Search Events feature. So we implemented this in MESLIS WebApp in 2020. Others prefer to start searching for organizers and once they have identified relevant organizers receive all events and locations for these organizers in a second step. Today we shipped our brand new feature “Organizer Search” in MESLIS. Please find some details about our current release.

The global event and music industrie suffers very much from COVID-19 Pandemic because of many restrictions and lockdowns. Almost no concerts, festivals or other public and life performances are taking place many locations are even temporarily closed. This leads to a significant decrease of revenue from licensing for our customers – Collective Management Organisations (CMO). There is one segment which develops quite rapidly during the Corona crisis: Online and Livestream Events. Our clients asked us whether it is possible to provide data on these events in MESLIS as well for their licensing business. We adjusted and implemented all required features within just a couple of weeks to satisfy this need as soon as possible for our clients. Today we shipped a new MESLIS release providing the new Livestream Events features and some other improvments, see below.

Using MESLIS Leaflets becomes more and more popular among MESLIS Users. This feature supports licensing and research professionals and their teams to collaborate when searching, selecting and processing relevant data on events, locations, organisers and artists. We recently introduced the new oppotunity in MESLIS to create and use up to 50 leaflets per user. Many users where happy about this extension. But they also required the opportunity to change the name of an existing leaflet or provide a new tag to such a leaflet. This feature and some more (read below) are now shipped with our new MESLIS release.

MESLIS uses different sources like Social Networks, Websites, Event Calenders, ePaper, etc. for data crawling on events, locations, organizers and artists. The number of sources MESLIS crawles increases continuously. Every new source holds the risk of crawling data on events and other entities that already exist in MESLIS. Our customers are only interested to receive one (not many) data record for a particular event or a specific location. But they are also interested to get fully qualified data records with as much data as possible. With the new MESLIS Release we now introduce a new automatic merging workflow. This workflow automatically identifies and merges all events describing one and the same event to one merged event. The workflow also automatically enriches data that is missing on a particular event coming from one source but is available for this event from another source. Please find some more exciting new MESLIS features.

MESLIS is based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). The implemented technologies and algorithms enable an automatic assessmend of certain characteristics of the entities (events, locations, organizers, artists) in MESLIS. As a result, these assessmends provide scores, tags, classifications and rankings for every single data record. Licensing and research professionals among MESLIS users apply these classifications to efficiently find the right data records they are searching for. Our aspiration is to continuously improve and extend these AI / ML features in MESLIS for our customers. Today we released a brand new Meta-Feature-Relevance Classifier for MESLIS.

Many of our customers sell volume licenses to their customers. These licenses cover a certain amount of music events per year at the particular location. Some licenses cover all type of music events some differ between licensed number of DJ events and licensed number of live music events and sometimes even a third number of background / mechanical music event. Collecting societies now use MESLIS to search and identify those locations which are under licensed. This is a very potential starting point for selling additional licenses.

In our continuous development of MESLIS WebApp during the last couple of weeks we set a strong focus on artist detection, event tags, data matching and key performance indicators.

MESLIS clients, collecting societies worldwide often need to know what artists performed on particular events to define the right license and correct amount of invoice for licensing those events. Some collecting societies even provide scores to individual artists to rank them. The web content extraction feature of MESLIS from now on automatically identifies and extracts all artist names from any digital, text based event description. These artist names are listed for sorting, searching, filtering and processing within a certain column and field in MESLIS WebApp. All users can search and filter for those artists and even select from an individually defined range of artist scores.
