Generalities

EMC is a music classification system created by the EML Author based on highly reliable web and traditional sources and on the Author's listening of thousands of artists' repertoires.

EMC is made up in four hierarchical levels with "is-a" relationships between abstractions. This means that there is no cross-listing between the classes, and that each "sublevel" is a "subtype" of his container and not its part . E.g: Alternative Rock is a strongest definition of "Rock" filtering different genres and not a part of it.

The selection of genres of this Test Version  will be updated have and widely improved by experts , artists or music lover that will join our project. Anyway, it represents the basis of the Author's idea about music classification and will not be drastically changed.
