Research questions and methodology

The musical network 2.0 & 3.0

Which changes were brought to the musical network by Web 2.0?

Which changes can we expect from Web 3.0?

Which role has the user of the Internet and the consumer of music in these changes?

Web 2.0 & 3.0

Web 2.0

Web sites and services based on participation, collaboration and sharing between users

Users are able to create, consume and remix data from multiple sources

Web 3.0

A hybrid, semantic and intelligent web made possible by the convergence of several new technologies

These technologies create personalised data and make content more usable and accessible for users

5


Creativity: New media and technologies facilitate amateurs/consumers to produce (professional) content > produser or prosumer (pro-am)

6


The prosumer (or produser) influences the networks of creativity, reproduction, distribution and consumption.

7



Reproduction: MP3 > social tagging and cluster analysis

9



Reproduction: MP3 > social tagging and cluster analysis

Distribution: Social networks, P2P-networks, online 2.0 media (e-zines, blogs)

Consumption: The prosumer (or produser) influences the networks of creativity, reproduction, distribution and consumption > abundance of content?

10


Creativity: Hybrid services for online collaboration, jamming or interaction with fans

13



Reproduction: Machine generated metadata

15



Reproduction: Machine generated metadata

Distribution: Hybrid ‘internet-of-things’ > integration of physical products and online services

Consumption: The user has the advantage of personalised recommendations based on 2.0 data and 3.0 services and metadata

16

Challenges for the future

To what extent is it a matter of ‘user’ generated content in the case of Web 3.0?

Will user or machine generated services manage the abundance of content?

How will the music industry (finally) react to the Web 2.0 and 3.0 developments?

To what extent will other creative industries (books, art, movies) interpretate the music industry’s (lack of) agency?
