Output Data
The Data is used to make a SPARQL endpoint, individual URI’s for each musician, and data dumps of people and relationships. The SPARQL endpoint provides access to relationships and basic biographies. Each musician is given their own URI’s in their own location to represent their identity. Data dumps provide relationships, opinions, and crowdsourcing.
