Umusic artist pages

[Yves Raimond]

Hello!

I just stumbled on the new Universal Music artist pages, tried to add
.rdf to the URI just to see, and it does publish quite a lot of Music
Ontology RDF!!

http://umusic.co.uk/artists/various-cruelties.rdf

Very exciting :)
Cheers,

Cool!

(Albeit I would model the different music source relations a bit
different by utilising the Info Service Ontology :)= )

I believe this is eLabs at UMG, probably with input from Gregg Kellogg.

nice!

I'm afraid I can't take any direct credit from that, but the work may have been influenced by the Music-Ontology influence in the Connected Media Experience. Among the big labels, UMG definitely "gets" the semantic web.

Hi everyone. I'm glad to have found this group. When I started my
record label about 15 years ago, I remember spending WAY too much time
poking around with MS Access, trying to build the most convincing
relational database/catalogue of music. Music Ontology has always
fascinated me. The opportunities and challenges these endless
catalogues inspired me (I'm a TI99/4A ZxSpectrum freak) have led me to
launch one of Europe's first online music stores back in 1995, 350.000
"titles" joined about 450000 products, about a million performers and
millions and millions of songs,tracks,recordings,works, call it what
you like, 100% 3rd normal form. We were among the first people in
Europe to have a continuous datastream in place which was updating a
relational SQL Server database which for the first time was not only
about barcodes and prices but about subjective "content".
I'm happy to see people actually get PhD's out of that one subject the
outside world would normally consider a valid test for a one-way
ticket to the... moon. (couldn't let that one pass by :)))

Having said this, during the second part of my career I was running a
distribution centre which mostly due to the datastreams it could
provide (SAP R/3/EDIFACT/...here is taxonomy again... rings a bell?)
became Belgium's n°2 CD/DVD wholesaler, exclusive vendor to Carrefour
and... Universal Music Belgium's top-5 client. They were still doing
physical product ONLY, in 2008...!! I noticed very clearly that they
were suddenly VERY MUCH interested in the technological aspect of the
music business while everybody including themselves was sinking like
the Titanic. The diversity of the Western world's music heritage is so
fabulous, so amazing, so vast. Why are we hearing only about so few of
them. I went to a vinyl store last week. A new word came up as I came
home with not-so-interesting-after-all records: I called them
"perishables", just like you'd call DATs & CDs, "uncertain". Unshrink,
play once file forever, today even the hottest new stuff is already
old anyway. Proof given. :))
