Our Approach To A European Music Observatory | Digital Music Observatory

▤ Summary

The article outlines a plan for a Demo Music Observatory that aims to support a future European Music Observatory with better data integration, automation, and lower operating costs. It argues that many music-industry data gaps are illusory and can be closed by reusing existing data assets, open data, and statistical software. It also proposes a bottom-up, collaborative observatory model instead of a centralized one, with transparent quality control and open-source methods. The piece highlights use cases such as recommendation engines, export targeting, legal evidence automation, and economic impact analysis for the music sector.
