    <p>
		The temperament ontology can be used to give a detailed description of the tuning of an instrument.
		It is developed in the OMRAS2 project, and intended to be used in conjunction
		with the <em><a href="http://purl.org/ontology/mo/">Music Ontology</a></em>, 
		for example, when describing the tuning that was used in a particular harpsichord recording.

    <h2 id="intro">1 Introduction</h2>

    <p>The temperament ontology aims to describe instrument tuning systems and their particularities.
	It may also be used to characterise a (potentially unknown) temperament that was used when tuning an
	instrument for a particular performance or recording. <br><br>
	At this stage the ontology is far from exhaustive. We primarily deal with
	temperaments in western tonal music with an emphasis on tuning keyboard instruments.
	One important objective is to be able to describe arbitrary temperaments,
	or express the results of automatic temperament extraction from audio recordings.
	</p>

    <h3 id="s11">1.1 About instrument tuning</h3>

    <p>Tuning an instrument consists of choosing the frequency values and spacing (or ratio) of pitches that are used.
	Pure (just) intervals of pitches correspond to whole number ratios of their frequencies, however
	these ratios are not compatible with each other as they arranged in scales (the way octaves are divided into discrete pitch classes) in western music. 
	For example, it is not possible to fit twelve pure fifths (3:2)^12 into seven octaves (2:1)^7. The difference
	is called the Pythagorean or Ditonic comma (23.5 cents). This difference has to be
	tempered out ---that is, some (or all) fifths has to be mistuned slightly in order to
	fit them. There are many tuning systems. Most commonly, they differ in the way they compromise
	pure intervals to solve this problem. </p>


    <h3 id="s12">1.2 An open-ended temperament description model</h3>
	<p>There is no mutual agreement in the literature on the description or classification
	of temperaments. Therefore, in this ontology we do not impose a 
	hierarchy between types of temperaments. We define an opaque
	top-level temperament concept. Subclasses of this concept can be used
	in describing individual temperaments, if necessary, using multiple class memberships.
	Since there is more than one way to associate tuning systems with their properties, 
	we treat temperament descriptions as concepts as well,
	and use reification to keep the model open and extensible.</p>

    <h3 id="s13">1.3 The many ways of describing temperaments</h3>

    <p>Temperaments can be characterised in lots of different ways. 
	The most common methods are using either the circle of fifths or
	give the pitch deviations from equal temperament. We define these
	descriptions as concepts in the ontology, however, other descriptions
	may be used and defined in the future. 
	(For example, one might find it convenient to express the same information using the circle of fourths.)</p>

    <h4 id="s131">1.3.1 The Circle of Fifths</h4>
	The circle of fifths has several uses in music theory. 
	It shows the harmonic relationships of the twelve major and minor keys.
	It can also be seen as a circle of the corresponding pitch class intervals,
	such as (C-G), (G-D), (D-A) etc... If we go around the circle using pure fifth 
	intervals, it wouldn't close. What remains is the Pythagorean comma.
	Hence, it is often used to describe temperaments by showing how 
	the comma is distributed among the intervals to close the circle.
	(Note that there are several types of commas related to different 
	tuning problems. These are defined in the ontology.)

	<!--<p><center><img src="CircleOfFifths.png" alt="Using the Circle of Fifths to describe a temperament." width="350"></center></p>-->

    <p>...</p>

    <h4 id="s132">1.3.2 Deviations from Equal Temperament</h4>

    <p>In equal temperament an octave is divided into twelve equal intervals. 
	As a result only octaves are pure. All other intervals are impure, and the 
	deviation from pure is different in case of each interval. Since equal temperament
	has become very common, other temperaments are often described by
	the frequency deviations (in cents) of each pitch class from the 
	corresponding pitch class in equal temperament.</p>

    <h3 id="s31">3.1. Example</h3>

    <p>Here is a very basic example describing a pitch class interval in the Valotti temperament using the circle of fifths.</p>

    <div class="example" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">

			tm:interval [
				a tm:FifthInterval ;
				tm:deviation [

					tm:comma tm:PythagoreanComma ;

				tm:lower pc:C ;
				tm:upper pc:G ] ;
			tm:interval [ # the rest of the intervals on the circle of fifths 
				] .
      </pre>
    </div>

    <p>A graphical representation of a similar description is shown in figure 2.
	We explicitly name the pitch classes involved in each interval on the circle of fifths. 
	The IntervalDeviation concept describes the amount of deviation from a pure interval
	in terms of a specific type of comma and a corresponding value (a fraction of that comma).
	We can safely assume that a fifth is pure, unless the deviation is given.</p>
