Please use the following template when adding information about an audio collection description: A small python script has been written to do the job, but for it to work, we need to be careful about how we mark up information. The goal of this discussion is to create a Microformat draft for marking up audio metadata and information.Ī NOTE ABOUT CONTRIBUTING - USE TEMPLATESĭue to the large number of audio sites, tallying statistical information for this discussion is difficult. Note that audio content (The Payback by James Brown) is very different from the audio file format (192Kbps, stereo MP3). The audio information need not be associated with a file. If there are 20 tracks found on a page done by the same artist, and that content consumes a significant portion of the page, it can be assumed that the page is not only about music, but also about a particular artist. Additionally, classification by crawlers can become more accurate. Specific search services may also be queried such as MusicBrainz, The Internet Archive, FreeDB, or Bitmunk. For example, specific searches may be performed for artists and songs via general search services such as Google and Wikipedia. If a web browser understands that a particular web page contains a song performed by an artist, it can produce richer interactions.
Having such information marked up can provide a number of benefits to the viewer. Metadata such as speaker, musician, publisher, label, title of the work, release date, acquisition link, related image artwork and tags provide relevant context for the audio recording. It is difficult for a browser to extract semantic information about an audio recording described on a web page. The Audio Info exploratory discussion is an attempt to create a standard method of marking up metadata and information about one or more audio recordings discussed on a web page. Information such as artist, title, speaker, track listing, and publisher are readily available on the same web page that contains the links to the audio files. Even today (April 2007), it is still difficult for a web browser to extract semantic information regarding audio recordings from a web page. It was shortly thereafter that links to many types of audio started to appear on the web. The web has been incorporating multimedia into its pages ever since the release of the Mosaic web browser around 1993.
