Make Thesaurus of Musical Types accessible

[rettinghaus]

There no way to get the data from the CRIM Thesaurus of Musical Types, Please make it accessible somewhere in a decent format like RDF Turtle.

Also I'm wondering why this is called Thesaurus when it's clearly a classification.

The term for the document is not critical. "Thesaurus of Musical Types" is what our group of analysts decided to call it.

You are correct that the documents (Thesaurus of Relationship Types and of Musical Types) are more graphical than symbolic. https://sites.google.com/haverford.edu/crim-project/vocabularies. There ought to someday be a way to expose these more logically, but I suspect that these will remain project-level concepts, since even other specialists view the patterns differently. These are simply consensus documents for participants in CRIM.

Meanwhile you might be interested to know about machine tools that are making it possible to find these patterns automatically: https://sites.google.com/haverford.edu/crim-project/search-and-analysis
