Genre Vocabulary v. 1.0 #186
-
JustificationArtsdata has undertaken a second phase of integration with the Arts Touring Connector (see artsdata-planet-atc). This integration involves the Extraction-Transformation-Load of atc:Show entities, which are equivalent to the ado:LivePerformanceWork and datascene:Spectacle concepts (see this discussion). atc:Show entities have six attributes including "genres" (read more). This placed the Artsdata team before a few options:
We decided it was time to put efforts into developing an Artsdata vocabulary. Inaugural version the Artsdata Genre vocabularyVersion 1.0 of the vocabulary can be consulted in this spreadsheet or here: http://kg.artsdata.ca/ontology/Genre. Namespace: Compact URI prefix: Concepts in this controlled vocabulary are expected values (i.e. "range") for the schema:genre property, for which the domain is schema:CreativeWork. Genre concepts will be associated to Event entities via the ado:LivePerformanceWork class:

BalletLa plupart des ballets sont basés sur un livret ou mettent en scène des personnages. En ce sens, lorsque le genre « ballet » est associé à une œuvre-spectacle (par exemple, le Casse-Noisette du Royal Winnipeg Ballet), il constitue à la fois un sous-genre de « danse » ou un sous-genre « musico-dramatique ». Il faudrait donc qu'on lui attribue aussi Cependant, lorsque le genre « ballet » est associé à une œuvre OEMI (par exemple, Casse-Noisette de Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky), il ne désigne qu'un genre « musico-dramatique » (puisque l'œuvre de Tchaikovsky ne spécifie pas les mouvements chorégraphiés devant être exécuté sur la musique).

« Autre art de la scène » / "Other performing art"Nous regroupé le cirque, l'humour et les variétés sous le parent "other performing art". Il m'apparaissait risqué de leur attribuer un identifiant de premier niveau à un chiffre. Dans la mesure où nous n'avons que 9 chiffres à attribuer à des genres de premier niveau, nous aurions rapidement pu nous retrouver avec plus de candidats que de chiffres disponibles. Cependant, je crains que la communauté des arts du cirque ne perçoive négativement de voir leur genre relégué au second niveau du vocabulaire. Question

New Music & Classical MusicI am suspicious of this "New Music" concept because I don't know exactly what it means. I'm assuming that it refers to music with an orchestral instrumentation that was composed in the 20th and 21st centuries, something like a Philip Glass piece, and not just any new music, as that would seem like it would be too broad a category to be useful (the possibility of it referring to that very amorphous genre "adult contemporary" also seems unlikely). This is what the skos:closeMatch with Wikidata also seems to imply. We have however not added periods of history as a facet that we are considering for inclusion in defining genres. If we are using "New Music" to mean any new music, I would suggest getting rid of it, as it seems unnecessary. Why would someone use "new music" to describe a performanceWork if the new music was new Jazz music? They would use our Jazz concept, no? If we are using "New Music" to refer to modern music - as in the series: Renaissance > Baroque > Classical > Romantic > Modern - I'm not sure why we would only create concepts for two out of 5-6 potential concepts in that series. Do we mean by our concept "Classical" any of the music that is most commonly understood when someone uses the term classical music (orchestral instrumental music from any of these periods), or do we mean that music that was composed in the Classical Period proper, between 1750 and 1820? I've done a cursory check of the controlled vocabulary used by the International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres, and couldn't find a concept for New Music or Contemporary Music. |
