| Abstract |
In this talk, I will present ideas around semantics and music for a VENI grant proposal that I am preparing to submit next January to the NWO. Heavily inspired in a previous WAI talk, in which I showed an early prototype to represent MIDI files as RDF graphs, I will present the MIDI Linked Data cloud, a dataset of more than 300K interconnected songs and more than 10B triples. As the largest library available on the Web on symbolic music notation represented as Linked Data, I will discuss further research that this dataset could enable by formalizing musical knowledge in ontologies, linking multimodal musical entities across the Web, and its applications in musicology. |
