Abstract
Musical data can be analysed, combined, transformed and
exploited for diverse purposes. However, despite the proliferation of dig-
ital libraries and repositories for music, infrastructures and tools, such
uses of musical data remain scarce. As an initial step to help fill this
gap, we present a survey of the landscape of musical data on the Web,
available as a Linked Open Dataset: the musoW dataset of catalogued
musical resources. We present the dataset and the methodology and cri-
teria for its creation and assessment. We map the identified dimensions
and parameters to existing Linked Data vocabularies, present insights
gained from SPARQL queries, and identify significant relations between
resource features. We present a thematic analysis of the original research
questions associated with surveyed resources and identify the extent to
which the collected resources are Linked Data-ready.
