Semantic Web Ontologies

Ontology Principles
1. Reuse exsting ontologies 2. Do ontology alignment/ mapping (not hijacking) 3. Define new concepts, properties and ontologies, if the existing ones don't fit your requirements 4. Create reuseable ontologies (top-down) 5. Publish your ontologies with documentation 6. Define inverse properties (explicitly or anonymous)

Existing Ontologies

Music Ontology [17] with extensions

e.g. Audio Features Ontology [18]

Create sub ontologies if necessary, e.g.

Play Back Ontology Playlist Ontology
