JazzCats

Welcome!

JazzCats (Jazz Collection of Aggregated Triples) is a resource for studying jazz artists, performances, and networks. The project harnesses semantic web technologies to connect data about jazz, including discographies, solo transcriptions, and information about artists. Future work will include integration with other datasets and provision of interfaces for semantic search and data visualization.

We welcome your ideas and feedback!
