Abstract

The recently approved format for music content description IEEE PAR1599 (MX) defines a standard for retrieval models representation within music and audio/video formats that makes use of XML documents as content descriptors. We show how music/audio semantics can be represented within the Structural layer of MX through the introduction of novel Music Information Retrieval (MIR) objects in order to embed metadata relative to specific retrieval models.
