A Taxonomy of Musical Genres (Pachet, Cazaly/Sony) • Typical ontology situation: Not starting from zero, but already lots of approaches in use (Amazon, AMG, MP3) • Meta-ontology often undef., what is the meaning/semantics of a link • Genres/MetaGenres division seems mainly application driven (Presentation on web pages) • The papers design section seems to ask many of the „right questions“ (methodology!).
Meta Genres in MP3.com, AMG, Amazon Both AMG!, different top levels
MPEG-7 Ontology (Hunter) • Quite comprehensive • Multi(!) Media • Non-MM entities: Agents, Roles, Place, Time, Instrument • Nice Web Metadata Architecture
Ontimusica (Chaouch & LvE, work in progress) • Music ontology for first studies on distributed inferences for IR • Covers multiple aspects • Musical Genres • Artwork (most important distinction: between „the work an sich“ and the interpretation and its manifestation) • Artists and business people • Starting point: Allmusic.com • Implemented in Protégé-2000 • :-( The actual version is worse than previous beta versions: Some design and implementation errors!
