Abstract

Music and Audio Information Search System (MAISS) is a web-based application using ontologies and inference engine to search multimedia documents. In MAISS, users run queries in web pages for retrieving data about albums, artists, audio files, audio file formats, encoding audio files, genre, instrument, key, note, official, resource, rhythm, etc. Web Ontology Language (OWL) is the operational base of MAISS, so users can also run queries for retrieving information with constraints about classes, data type properties, object properties, and their values. MAISS shows many categories of information about music and audio files. In fact this system is a database of information about music which enables the user to obtain information roughly or accurately. This system is not only a machine-readable system and capable of converting information from OWL format to RDF format but also it can extract data from ontology file whereby it would be user-readable and understandable. Moreover, for implementing this system, java language, J2EE architecture, and other related technologies in addition to Semantic Web have been used.
