AcousticBrainz Project for GSoC 2015

Hi all,

I'm glad to participate in the discussion about AcousticBrainz Project. I
can see it will have a good future. In the big-data time, data are
something high-value only after they have been processed systematically.
Compared with image datasets, music datasets are relatively scarce. So it’s
a good opportunity for AcousticBrainz. Now the necessary demand of
AcousticBrainz’s project is to build a tagging tool. In my opinion, the
tool should at least provide two functions:

One allows users upload basic information of music including attributes in
the form of document directly. Then the tool maps the music to a certain
ID, if no ID has been provided by users. After that, it can change the
information of music in to the input form that existing tools can
understand.

The other one allows users to do online\offline tagging task. The tool will
provide a tagging system: Users can do tagging task while they listen to
the music with a certain ID. The tagging attributes may include
“gender\genre\mood” and so on. If in offline mode, the data would be
packaged and uploaded to server when tagging task finishes. If in online
mode, the data would be sent to server as soon as a song has been tagged.

The above is my preliminary idea. I look forward to a further discussion.

Best regards,

Kang Cai
