MusicNet Codex

The MusicNet Codex provides canonical linked data references, aka “minted” URIs, for classical music composers. These URIs are associated with recognized reference data sources in Musicology like COPAC, RISM, Grove, the British Library into standard representative pointers for composers.

Basic biographical data is also available (dates of birth and death)

Data is available as Linked Data (RDF) in a number of ways (including a dump of the entire dataset) detailed in the documentation. There is also a standard web interface to search and browse the data.
