Hello cleveland! Linked data publication of live music archives

Abstract

We describe the publication of a linked data set exposing meta-data from the Internet Archive Live Music Archive. The dataset contains over 17,000,000 triples describing 100,000 performances by 4,000 artists. Links to other existing musical and geographical resources facilitate query of the collection along a number of axes. We describe both the methods used to annotate and layer the metadata - with a focus on considering the patterns used to represent mappings - and the role that views constructed from such a Linked Data set can play to bring together multidisciplinary multimedia analysis techniques.
