A Taxonomy of Musical Genre

François Pachet & Daniel Cazaly — RIAO 2000, Paris

Abstract

This paper proposes a structured approach to classifying musical genres based on metadata consistency, hierarchical structure, and content-based similarities. It highlights the challenges of defining genre boundaries, the lack of standardised taxonomies in the music industry, and the implications for music retrieval systems.
