Major task_Music organisation
I decided to organize the data inside my machine following one of the most powerful methods called faceted classification.
"Faceted classification is a bottom-up scheme.
Here, each object is tagged with a certain set of attributes and values, and the organization of these objects emerges from this classification, and how a user chooses to access them.
Faceted classification allows for exploration directed by the user, where a large dataset is progressively filtered through the user's various choices, until arriving at a manageable set that meet the users' basic criteria. Instead of sifting through a pre-determined hierarchy, the items are organized on-the-fly, based on their inherent qualities.
"Here you have a nice example of that: www.bestcellars.com
(a smart wine selling website).
In this way I had a lot of inspiration from Dan Hill's work for BBCmusic site.
He tryed to fuse different methods of organisationdeveloping new ways of searching for music, like the six dimensionaldiagram with the followings facets: Artist, Genre,Technique-instrument,Esoterica-theme, location and time (for more information go to www.cityofsound.com).
Also the replyes in the blog from different kinds of researcherswere very useful for me, expecially the one that suggested "Utility" as an important seventh dimension: infact it will be particularly useful when your "map" moves further back in time than the last fifty years.
All the blog had deeply inspired me, and stimulated to look fornew kinds of classifications, like the one that I'm developing:"mood". this would be the missing link between all previous facets,and show up the relation between music and books, movies,fashion, art or a cultural context.
Some other interesting ideas came from Audioscrobbler Browser,where you have a visual output of the relationships between relatedartists.
