A spin-out company from the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) at NUI Galway is bringing a new experience to music lovers.
Using Semantic Web technology, Seevl provides a new way to find music similar to individual users’ favourite bands by exploring the connections between artists.
Dr Alexandre Passant, CEO and founder of Seevl, said: “We want to recreate, online, the music discovery experience that people have when reading records sleeves, trying to know every fact about their favourite artists, or engaging in conversations about the bands they like. To do so, we get data from various sources on the Web to build consolidated artist profiles, so that we can then enable semantic search and explanatory recommendations of related bands. For instance, if you like the Beatles, we will tell you that you may like the Quarrymen as it used to be the former band of most of their members. Combined with the social experience, these features make Seevl a unique music discovery service.”
