World Wide Web or About Open and Reduced Information Models

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the types of information about music in World Wide Web and formulates two basic principles for its structuring. The model identification is based mainly on the analysis of several Bulgarian web sites for Bulgarian music among which is prominent the web site of the multimedia database for Bulgarian folklore music, realized by a team of the Institute of Art Studies at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The first principle that the sites are open is determined as a compensatory mechanism against the very depth of information as endless/variable, insufficient, as well as a specific corrective measure of the deceptive aspiration for thorough data. The second principle defines the thematic/axiological reductions in the sites. The analysis draws on the question of how the limiting of the information fields interacts with the idea of World Wide Web as inexhaustible/multi-layer source of information and with the view on Music as a category concept. The specific, even paradoxical freedom of virtual behaviour in the conditions of reduced thematic/axiological complementarity is being formulated.
