Chris@0: Chris@0:Chris@0: DBTune hosts a number of servers, providing access to Chris@15: music-related structured data, in a Linked Data fashion. Chris@0: All the services hosted here are based on open Web standards such as RDF Chris@0: and SPARQL. Chris@0:
Chris@0:Chris@0: This effort is part of the Linking Chris@0: Open Data on the Semantic Web community project, hosted by the Semantic Chris@0: Web Education and Outreach interest group. Chris@0:
Chris@15:November 2017 update: This server has recently been revived at the Centre for Digital Music following a period of downtime. Many of the datasets have been restored, mostly using a default ClioPatria server viewing static data (i.e. datasets that were originally dynamic are now old static snapshots). Some datasets have been officially retired. More details are below.

Chris@0: Chris@0:Chris@0: Resources on the Web can be far more than web pages. They can identify anything: me, Chris@0: a French band, an audio Chris@0: signal, etc. Chris@0:
Chris@0:Chris@0: Such resources have associated representations (accessed, in our case, through HTTP), Chris@0: which may be either human-readable (an XHTML document, Chris@0: for example) or machine-processable (Microformats or RDF). Chris@0: These representations may hold links to further resources, allowing to jump from one resource to another, which may be actually hosted Chris@0: in different places. This is were the Web aspect comes into place. Chris@0:
Chris@0:Chris@0: Let's take an example. The resource http://dbtune.org/jamendo/artist/5 identifies a French band, called Chris@0: Both. Asking for a RDF representation of this resource gives us back the following statement: Chris@0:
Chris@0: <http://dbtune.org/jamendo/artist/5> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/based_near> <http://sws.geonames.org/2991627/> Chris@0:Chris@0: We can then follow this link to get to a resource identifying a geographic location, located within the dataset. Chris@0: Moreover, this link is also a resource identifier! So if we don't know what it means to be based_near something, we can Chris@0: still access a representation of it, which would give us statements such as "based_near is a property, and it relates a person or a group Chris@0: of person to a geographical location".
