Abstract

Music is a domain with several dimensions and some specific characteristics. When different types of music are considered, modeling this domain becomes even more challenging. This paper presents some of the characteristics that makes music such an interesting domain to model and summarizes a conceptualization process based on the Dahlberg conceptual triangle for guiding the construction of an ontology proposal for representing music sound recordings. This ontology can provide a global representation that might be used to support music information systems’ interoperability as well as data integration, contributing to worldwide music dissemination in nowadays knowledge society. Some possible mappings to other representational schemes for music sound recordings are identified to enable interoperability and integration with other similar systems. An interview with domain specialists indicates the right coverage of the necessary concepts, and evidences the importance of the proposal.
