Wikifonia was an on-line publisher of sheet music, combining a MusicXML-based technology in a wiki system, with copyright clearance.
The Wikifonia system was developed in a collaboration between several institutes of higher education in Ghent, Belgium.
In March 2005 the researchers of the project received the Creativity to Business Award from the Ghent University Association.
[2][3] The actual rights were paid for by the Wikifonia foundation, a non-profit organisation founded in July 2006.
