  1. General Ontology for Linguistic Description

  2. Music Description Ontologies? • Much more complicated situation because of commercial music industry interests • Most ontologies designed for commercial music (albums, tracks, composers etc ) or Western music notation (diatonic scale etc) • Most recent ethnomusicological discourse concentrates on social context rather than description or analysis and suspicious of universalist approaches • Some current initiatives e.g. EU MusicNetwork

  3. Issues for semantic web • Small-scale specialist archive with few staff and precarious funding - not resourced for huge amount of work for RDF markup • Curator-intensive - cannot be readily automated • Need to motivate and involve researchers and communities in description as well as high-level ICT advisors • Present highest priority salvage of endangered media • Lack of appropriate ontologies especially for music

  4. But… • We have a good foundation - well-structured data and metadata (for whole-item level) conforming to international standards • We are in conversation with international disciplinary communities through OLAC, EMELD, DELAMAN • Our collection is of high cultural heritage and scholarly value, of interest to international community • We are motivated to learn more from other large-scale distributed digital data archives
