The PhD position will be attached to the NEMA project, which is a world-wide collaboration of leading labs, and which aims to integrate the efforts of all its participating labs into one huge music information retrieval system. Stephen Downie of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is leading this project, and there will be other researchers in Montreal, Waikato, Southampton and Goldsmiths (also London). The work at Queen Mary will be concerned with the music ontology (www.musicontology.org), publishing linked musical data on the semantic web, and providing web services access to musical data resources.
