About this Release

This document situates the Open Music Observatory as a central reference point. The Observatory is a prototype of a modern European Music Observatory developed by the OpenMusE consortium, currently populated with data on economy, diversity, society, and innovation, and operating multiple federated modules. Technical documentation and versioned DOIs are available via Zenodo, with an overview at https://openmusicobservatory.eu/.

This Green Paper is a policy document developed within the Open Music Europe (OpenMusE) Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action (Grant Agreement No. 101095295). It deliberately combines policy research with implementation piloting, ensuring consistency with the legal and policy framing established in Deliverable D5.6 while testing its implications in real-world data environments.
