- The name "Enhedu" comes from the ancient Sumerian name "Enheduanna", which means "high priestess of Anu". So, it's a tribute to Enheduanna, an ancient poet and musician who is celebrated as one of the first female authors in history. She lived in the 23rd century BC and was the daughter of Sargon of Akkad, the founder of the Akkadian Empire.
Extensive knowledge base for music lovers
- The selection of entries was obtained from consultations with the most renowned musical sources, from which the ontological network of music and the respective definitions were developed.
- The Music Ontology is a unique tool for presenting musical knowledge in a (Semantic) Network, making consultation more effective and objective.
- As an example of Ontology, the term “acciaccatura” in the semantic network is linked to “ornament” as a broader member (generalization) which, in turn, has “score notation” as a broader type, and this has “notation” as a broader type, which, in turn, contains five specializations (narrower types): System Notation, Directive Notation, Sheet, Score Notation and Instrument Notation.
- Allows users to explore not just what words mean, but how they relate to other words and concepts (e.g. from ‘harmony’ to ‘chord’, 'interval' ...).
- Each term, if not language-specific, is displayed and searchable in six languages (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese), making Enhedu the most comprehensive musical glossary ever published.
- Historian Ernst Gombrich, in his book History of Art, wrote: "...what we call Art does not exist. There are only Artists". Paraphrasing the historian, we can say that Music does not exist. There are only Musicians.
