Abstract

Music description is nowadays considered an important matter in Information and Communication Technology. The encoding formats commonly accepted and employed are often characterized by a partial view of the whole problem: they describe music data or metadata for score, audio tracks, computer performances of music pieces, but they seldom encode all these aspects together. In this paper, we present the MX formalism that aims to address this limitation of the existing formats, by providing a Semantic Web compatible representation of music information in terms of structural and semantic features, by means of XML and OWL.
