Preliminary outline of tutorial

Wed, 07/01/2009 - 13:29 — kurtjx

Based on our proposal and some more recent discussions about what to include in the tutorial we have this very rough outline. Please comment about what you think is missing or what could be removed or minimized. We're looking for feedback!

Introduction to the Web of Data - explaining the how and why of structured data on the Web

Web identifiers - URIs - for artists, albums, tracks, signals
RDF - triple - N3 primer
Ontologies enable inferencing
Linked Data - guidelines for the Web of Data
Why does it matter, from a music researcher or a BBC point of view?
SPARQL query language
Music Ontology primer

The Web of Data and Music in action - practical examples applied to music

SPARQL Myspace for Hungarian Rap music
SPARQL for BBC programmes featuring French music artists
Meshup DBpedia, Myspace, and Geonames for music artist recommendation
Explore your personal music collection using aggregated music data
An automated radio DJ driven by linked data

Audio-based music analysis and the Semantic Web

Audio Features Ontology - a general framework for creating ad-hoc concepts for describing audio signal processing results
VAMP Ontology - representing VAMP audio analysis plugins
RDF in the recording studio

Using the Web of Data yourself

Consuming and publishing RDF (MoPy, rdflib, Jena, librdf)
Resource disambiguation - GNATlib and Musicbrainz
Publish your own data sets as Linked Data - 4Store, Jena/Joseki, Cliopatria, D2R, Virtuoso
Ontology engineering (really brief primer) - use/extend existing ontologies where possible (DC, FOAF, MO, etc)

Analysis is missing

You might wish to consider a section about using the semantic web as a data supplement for existing data. There's already one paper on using social network analysis techniques for analysis using semantic web data out of University of London in last year's ISMIR. I suspect it will be the most popular of topics in the tutorial.

Good point!

Are you referring to the papers on Myspace from Ben Fields and myself? We will be covering the use of the Myspace data set through the sparql endpoint. Actually, Ben and Claudio have an AM tutorial about using the 'Social Web' for music-related tasks. So we will focus on RDF-related technologies - hopefully it will be evident how these compliment data that's already out there, and hopefully we will convince a few of you to re-publish data as RDF ;-)
