A specialisation of Music Meta for folk music.
🔗 Ontology URI: https://w3id.org/polifonia/ontology/tunes/
The main novelty at the metadata level consists in grouping tunes into tune families depending on their similarity (an association that is often performed through manual inspection and analysis). Each tunes:Tune is seen as a specialisation of a mm:MusicEntity that may belong to a tunes:TuneFamily, which in turn specialises core:Collection (please, note that the term Collection is seen from an ontology engineering perspective, as this reuses the Collection ontology design pattern in Music Meta).
As can be seen from the diagram/example below, the membership of a tunes:Tune to tunes:TuneFamily is described by core:CollectionMembership, which provides additional information on the actual strength of such membership. The latter is captured by core:CollectionMembership, which is specialised by two entities here: tunes:WeakFamilyMembership and tunes:NeutralFamilyMembership.
Another extension that is peculiar to folk music, is the possibility to group tunes' mm:Lyrics into a tunes:LyricsFamily. This is analogous to tunes:TuneFamily as described above. The same criteria for expressing membership strength apply as before. As shown in the diagram/example below, a tune and lyrics families are not exclusive.
