Lightweight Visualizations

The music archive content is represented in lightweight visualizations. Tag Clouds, Bar Chart Matrices, and Micro Bar Charts are used to represent at most two dimensions of the data. More complex representations, such as the Similarity Spiral or the Graph View are used to display more dimensions.

Cultural Metadata

Similarity values are calculated based on the number of web pages that mention two given artists(co-occurrence analysis). Combining co-occurrences with legacy information about an artist's genre affiliation, an artist's importance for her genres can be derived. Using both genre affiliation and artist similarity, genre affilation can be computed automatically. The application allows adding further artists to demonstrate this feature.
