Towards Leveraging the Music Industry with Hyperknowledge

In this paper, we discuss the use of semantic technologies in the music industry. Specifically, we describe our vision of how the Hyperknowledge model can leverage the development of AI-based applications in this domain. Hyperknowledge is a multimodal-aware knowledge representation framework tailored for hypermedia information. It allows the modeler to describe and link fragments of multimedia content (e.g., audio, video, text, image, etc.) with high-level semantic structures. Hyperknowledge can also complement existing approaches by providing a glue model that can be used to map among distinct, but related, musical and audio material. We discuss the use of Hyperknowledge as a representation framework for music information and some novel applications that this approach can support.
