Semantics Music Applications!
Normally, we seek semantics of every object which is of use in our life. Semantics basically means trying to understand a concept with its context or relation to other attributes of the related objects as well understands what they stand for and what they signify.
Semantics means range of ideas, its connotation, its reference to object in question. These days after the webification of most of applications, it's time to understand "the web", the network of Links or simply the context information for each piece of information or island of information related.
The music-web-ecosystem needs digital pages to be built in such way the each artifact of music displayed must be semantically linked and must be with annotations. This will help music explorers to be more adventurous while surfing web.
Within music-web pages, the collection of music based data is enriched and interconnected with semantic metadata, letting music lovers walk around relations between artists that they may have not known existed.
I must mention one such community doing proactively the above discussed ideas. A community called MusicBrainz collects immense amount of music metadata including artist/album/track model etc (for a complete list one can visit the www.MusicBrainz.org)
All these efforts are really wonderful in making music related information contextual and interesting to browse, as contextual information like photo, text and video pops up the moment we are browsing particular word or concept.
All of the data in MusicBrainz is contributed to, and maintained by, its users - who follow community written style guidelines while editing to ensure a standard of quality. The data is also available for free download for general public and those who need to add this contextual /Linked data about music can use it for righteous purpose thus making Music Web ecosystem enriched by real power of online collaboration and cognitive surplus.
