Observing and Promoting Innovation in the Music Ecosystem and Future Trends in Music with Open Data and Open Collaboration

The Feasibility study for the establishment of a European Music Observatory (in short: EMO Feasibility Study) has identified 7 data gaps, and a general data source. The Digital Music Observatory, as a cutting-edge observatory prototype, covers all 7 data gaps. I. Task list 1. Methodology Issues II. Filling the Data Gaps 1. Blockchain and music; 2. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and music; 3. Future of Streaming; 4. Mapping the flow of digital revenues in the music sector and the relevant business models in Europe; 6. Music start-ups in the EU; 7. The impact of artists’ ‘do it yourself’ culture on the economy of the sector. According to the EMO Feasibility Study, “this pillar is less data-driven in that it will rely mostly on research conducted on topics relating to changes in the market place, new business models, disruptive technologies, etc. A European Music Observatory will have the latitude to pick certain topics based on priorities and input from sectoral stakeholders.” The Digital Music Observatory covers all seven areas. II. The innovation of Music Pillar of the Digital Music Observatory 1. From CEEMID to the Digital Music Observatory This can be used in excellence / Objectives and WP Implementation. 2. Music & Innovation Policy Relevance This can be used as state-of the art in Objectives. 3. Open Collaboration, Open Policy Analysis, and Open Data This overlaps with our general WP Implementation. III. References The goals of the Innovation Pillar greatly overlap with the three core pillars of Economy of Music, Diversity and Circulation and Music, Society and Citizenship. some aspects of the innovation of Music Pillar
