Explore thousands of artists' biographies with the MEETUPS demo
The MEETUPS pilot focuses on supporting music historians and teachers by providing a Web tool that enables the exploration and visualisation of encounters between people in the musical world. A new demo video gives a sneak peak into the interface.

The MEETUPS Knowledge Graph – accessed through a Web tool – enables the exploration and visualisation of encounters between people in the musical world in Europe from c. 1800 to c. 1945. The system will make it possible to trace key points of cultural and musical exchange and dissemination, and meetings that were catalysts for musical change. These encounters will be explored in a timeline and map interface. All the data is extracted from artists’ biographies, mainly from open-access digital sources such as Wikipedia artists’ web pages. A total of 33,309 biographies were collected for knowledge extraction and construction of the KG. The case study will fill a gap by enabling users to discover, index, and cite musical encounters and make them first-class citizens of musicology research.
You can start exploring the biographies through a first demo here. As part of our Tutorial Video Series, a video is uploaded that shows how to use this tool.

How do you ensure that everyone can participate in musical activities? That’s the question the ACCESS is trying to answer and this Polifonia pilot is doing so by developing haptic devices in relation to music making. And by actively engaging users during workshops, as was the case at Milton Keynes International Festival 2023 (UK) last Sunday.
