MusicMash2: Mashing Linked Music Data via An OWL DL Web Ontology
Jeff Z. Pan, Stuart Taylor, Edward Thomas · 2009
In this paper we present MusicMash2, an ontology-based semantic mashup application. The two main problems involved in building semantic mashup appli-cations of this type are, firstly, a lack of populated do-main ontologies available on the Web and, secondly, the poor precision of standard search facilities provided by many folksonomy-based tagging systems. We show how our reusable infrastructure can address these two problems. Furthermore, to evaluate the benefits of our approach, we compare MusicMash2 to its predecessor MusicMash, which is based on standard Web 2.0 tech-niques.
