The Music Ontology Specification provides main concepts and properties fo describing music (i.e. artists, albums, tracks, but also performances, arrangements, etc.) on the Semantic Web.
The mapping of the MBZ 'release types' seems to be a bit difficult, since they are directly related to MBZ 'release groups' which are mapped to mo:SignalGroup [1] instances. This class is on the expression level. However, the mo:release_type [2] property currently relates to mo:MusicalManifestation [3], i.e. to instances that are on the manifestation level, e.g., mo:Release [4] instances. I'm currently unsure whether we should switch the domain of mo:release_type to mo:MusicalExpression [5], or whether I should create a mapping for mo:Release instances that are related to their release types.
Currently, I would prefer the second one.
