<h2><a name="intro" id="intro"></a>1. Introduction</h2>
21
<p>
22
This set of resources describes concepts and individuals related to the canon of
23
Western Classical Music.  The data has been aggregated and to some extent hand
24
curated by Chris Cannam at Queen Mary University of London.
25
This collection of knowledge includes information about composers, compositions, performers, relationships of influence, and other data.  The intention is to provide a <a href="http://linkeddata.org" target="_blank">Linked Data</a> resource that provides many references to existing information sources. <p>Currently the composer data is expected to be reasonably reliable, but the other data in this dataset is likely to be highly provisional, unreliable, and subject to change.
