Abstract While research on the notion of relevance has a long and rich history in information retrieval for textual documents, formal considerations of relevance concepts in Music Information Retrieval (MIR) remain scarce. We discuss the application of Saracevic's stratified model of relevance interactions to the music information domain. This model offers a tool for deliberation on the development of user‐oriented MIR systems, and a framework for the aggregation of findings on the music information needs and behaviours of potential users.
