Music and the Web of Linked Data - ISMIR 2009 Tutorial

As part of our tutorial for ISMIR 2009 in Kobe Japan we are launching this site to serve as the resource associated with the tutorial. All materials related to the tutorial will appear here including slides, links, software, examples, etc. Whether or not you are able to attend the tutorial, we hope that this site will be a valuable resource for those interested in applying Semantic Web technologies to music informatics.

Our tutorial is entitled Share and Share Alike You Can Say Anything About Music in The Web of Data. It is intended to introduce researchers in music informatics to various Semantic Web technologies and resources. We are planning to cover topics such as SPARQL for music recommendation, music resource disambiguation, publishing Linked Data about music, and audio signal analysis in the Web of Data. Of course we are planning some nice hands-on examples showing what kind of stuff is available on the Web of Data and how you can use it.

But we'd like to hear from you. Please register and comment or use our contact form to tell us what you think should be in the tutorial. What questions do you have about Semantic Web concepts? What technologies would you like to know more about? What criticisms or concerns do you have about the Web of Data? Have you worked with music resources in the Web of Data? Can you suggest any content we should include? Hope to see you in Kobe, if not see you right here :-)
