year = {2018},
note = {This research aims to develop an ontology of the GMS folk songs for
further utility in the areas of knowledge discovery and research
pertaining to the humanities and social sciences domains. Ontology
development processes are comprised of three phases: 1) analysis of
existing metadata schema for folk songs; 2) content analysis of GMS
folk songs from key resources; and, 3) ontology development, which
consists of five processes: 1) defining the scope of folksongs
ontology; 2) investigating the existing ontologies and plan for reuse;
3) defining terms and its relations; 4) create instances; and, 5)
implementation and evaluation. The research outcome is the domain
ontology of GMS folk songs, wherein 125 concepts of folk songs on GMS
have been identified, defined and classified into classes and
sub-classes. This classification presents an inclusion of some
necessary scope notes and relationships of the topics, for example,
the concepts on genres, the purpose of creation, moods, features,
occasions, languages, ethnic groups, and place of origins. The
ontology was developed by using the Hozo Ontology Editor. This study
aspires that the consequently developed ontology will serve to be
highly useful for the development of semantic knowledge-based search
of GMS folk songs in the subsequent research.},
