Privacy & Cookies Built upon Open Data Repositories This is built using existing, open data repositories: MusicBrainz and Wikipedia. Structured data MusicBrainz is basically an editable database for the music domain. It covers artists, releases, tracks and record labels. For example, this is the form for adding a new release - as you can see, the data is very well structured. Edits are peer-reviewed All edits to MusicBrainz are peer-reviewed: users can vote against an edit if they disagree with it. So the quality of the data is generally high, especially around popular artists where many fans keep a close eye on new edits. Active user community musicbrainz community size/activity There’s an incredibly active user community, very busy adding new data to the site. These are the number of edits individual users have entered in the last week - one user alone, “MeinDummy” has contributed nearly 3000 edits Web scale identifiers* 10000730-525f-4ed5-aaa8-92888f060f5f musicbrainz.org/artist/:guid www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/:guid * http://bit.ly/ytB6d A curious feature of MusicBrainz is their use of these rather long, opaque identifiers for their resources For example, an artist page in musicbrainz is musicbrainz.org/artist/:guid And we’re reusing these identifiers on our site, so the artist profile on BBC is: www.bbc.co.uk/ music/artists/:guid This what people refer to “Web scale identifiers” - the way DBPedia uses Wikipedia article titles is the best example of this.
