Music Ontology
Chris@0:
Chris@0: Music Ontology is an attempt to provide a vocabulary for linking a wide range music-related information, and Chris@0: to provide a democratic mechanism for doing so. Anybody can publish Music Ontology data and link it with existing data, in order to help create a music-related web of Chris@0: data. Chris@0:
