Maninpasta minutes: OntologyDesign#2 (2)

[valecarriero]

Participants: Valentina Carriero, Ana Pano Alaman, Andrea Scharnhorst, Paolo Bonora, Fiorela Ciroku

Activities

• Reordering Competency Questions and identifying "conceptual areas" they address

  • Musical Performance (where, who)
  • Evidence / Sources (bibliography, score)
  • Musical Composition as such (tonality)

• Defining some new Competency Questions

  • more general / more specific than existing ones
  • new "conceptual area" with 3 new CQs: Musical Reception (who talked about musical composition and performance, and how)

• Initial ontology design of the "conceptual area" Musical Performance: it is a subconcept of Time-indexed situation, associated with agents (e.g. performers), place, time interval, musical composition

• Discussion on how to model the concept of Medium of Performance (the instruments and the voices employed in one musical composition): is it a collection? Is it associated with the composition or the performance?

  • Need to clarify this with a musicologist

• Initial search of existing ontologies to reuse

  • DOREMUS (e.g. concept of Performance)
  • FRBR

• Open problems, to be discussed with the whole ontology design team:

  • direct / indirect ontology reuse
  • using FRBR 4 levels, or not
