Exploring methodological issues around the design of music information systems (Extended abstract)

This paper will consider and explore the significance around choosing methodologies for the development of music information systems, attempting to foreground and make explicit the often implicit: how beliefs and philosophical contexts influence system design through the choice of a methodology. My explorations focus on the interdisciplinary and technology-mediated subject areas of music information systems development, including system design and data structures. However, it highlights issues that are key to many interdisciplinary areas between science and music.
