Ontologien in der Praxis

Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen für die Modellierung musikwissenschaftlicher / musikeditorischer Wissensstrukturen

Abstract

The processing, dissemination, classification and verifiability of "resilient" knowledge represents some of the most pressing challenges facing society as a whole in this still young digital age. Information-theoretical ontologies that are integrated into the vision of the so-called semantic web can be of great use here. On the basis of examples of applications as well as of the explanation of basic concepts, mechanisms and challenges for the systematization and modelling of knowledge structures the current possibilities for a "semantic" digital musicology are shown.
