Audio Use Case

Introduction

The music use case is one of the use cases which has been elaborated by the Multimedia Semantics (MMSEM) Incubator Group (XG).

The music use case deals with the annotation of different aspects of music on the Web, the interoperability of different vocabularies and standards and the aggregation of related information.

The music use case discusses the integration of different description schemes for audio files and the integration of further information. Discussed formats include OGG Vorbis, ID3 and the Music Ontology. The authors of the use case also present typical metadata fields which are used to describe music data.

An introduction to the mentioned standards like OGG Vorbis, ID3 and the Music Ontology can be found in the MMSEM XG Vocabularies deliverable.
