Title
AN ECOSYSTEM FOR TRANSPARENT MUSIC SIMILARITY IN AN OPEN WORLD
Abstract
There exist many methods for deriving music similarity as- sociations and additional variations are likely to be seen in the future. In this work we introduce the Similarity Ontology for describing associations between items. Us- ing a combination of RDF/OWL and N3, our ontology al- lows for transparency and provenance tracking in a dis- tributed and open system. We describe a similarity ecosys- tem where agents assert and aggregate similarity statements on the Web of Data allowing a client application to make queries for recommendation, playlisting, or other tasks. In this ecosystem any number of similarity derivation meth- ods can exist side-by-side, specifying similarity relation- ships as well as the processes used to derive these state- ments. The data consumer can then select which similarity statements to trust based on knowledge of the similarity derivation processes or a list of trusted assertion agents.
