## Abstract (arXiv)

In this paper we propose the Music Note Ontology, an ontology for modelling music notes and their realisation. The ontology addresses the relation between a note represented in a symbolic representation system, and its realisation, i.e. a musical performance. This work therefore aims to solve the modelling and representation issues that arise when analysing the relationships between abstract symbolic features and the corresponding physical features of an audio signal. The ontology is composed of three different Ontology Design Patterns (ODP), which model the structure of the score (Score Part Pattern), the note in the symbolic notation (Music Note Pattern) and its realisation (Musical Object Pattern).
