The place to coordinate and discuss all issues related to ethnomusicological descriptors

Project description edit

The research activities of WikiProject Ethnomusicological descriptors - University of Turin (Q120325256) are part of a PRIN project (Projects of Relevant National Interest) on knowledge representation systems in the ethnomusicological domain and the creation of a domain ontology. The activity of data curation deals with specific terms, available or missing on wikidata, generally used in international analytical-scientific practice for the description of repertoires, artifacts, genres, musical instruments and sound objects.

The ethnomusicological domain that our project covers at this time consists of:

  • Field research materials in any format and medium, including notes, photographs, films;
  • Musical instruments;
  • Published materials (book materials and non-book materials) in any format and medium;
  • Description of field research campaigns (dates, geographical locations, agents);
  • Support description of agents (individuals, families, institutions);
  • Specific descriptors pertinent to the ethnomusicological domain, affecting each type of resource so far listed allow its catalographic description or annotation, i.e:
    • (a) Information on anthrotoponyms (ethnic groups, demonyms, nationalities, geo-cultural areas);
    • (b) Information related to musical phenomena (scales, modes, local names of voices, musical genres, vocal or instrumental ensembles, etc.);
    • (c) Information related to choreographic phenomena (local names of dances, choreographic elements that make up a dance, etc.);
    • (d) Information about objects and paraphernalia that are part of the ritual or that are utensils in some way related to musical practices or knowledge.

Aims edit

The goal is refining the vocabularies of Linked Open Data terms that can then be used by Linked Open Data digital catalogues.
