Source Ontology

Source represents various sources of music-related information. These include= manuscripts, textbooks, articles, interviews, reviews, comments, memoirs, etc. of different scope and format (physical, digital). The module aims to provide general support to describe information related to the creator and type of the source, the time and place when/where it was created, the context of production and usage, and the subject and goals. Although this conceptualisa- tion leans towards bibliographical sources, the module provides expressivity to indicate multimedia documents (e.g. images of scores, audio recording, video). For example, a video recording of a performance can be considered as a musical source – providing documentary evidence of a composition e.g. during an event.
