A Labanotation Based Ontology for Representing Dance Movement
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a Knowledge Based System for describing and storing dances that takes advantage of the expressivity of Description Logics. We propose exploiting the tools of the Semantic Web Technologies in representing and archiving dance choreographies by building a Dance Ontology in OWL-2. Description Logics allow us to express complex relations and inference rules for the domain of dance movement, while Reasoning capabilities make it easy to extract new knowledge from existing knowledge. Furthermore, we can search within the ontology based on the steps and movements of dances by writing SPARQL queries. The building elements of the ontology and their relationships to construct the dance model are based on the semantics of the Labanotation system, a widely used language that uses symbols to denote dance choreographies.

Using automatic generation of Labanotation to protect folk dance
Labanotation uses symbols to describe human motion and is an effective means of protecting folk dance. We use motion capture data to automatically generate Labanotation. First, we convert the motion capture data of the biovision hierarchy file into three-dimensional coordinate data. Second, we divide human motion into element movements. Finally, we analyze each movement and find the correspondi...
متن کاملFrom dance notation to human animation: The LabanDancer project
Symbolic systems such as Labanotation for notating dance and choreography provide a critical tool for the preservation of cultural heritage in what once was considered an “illiterate” art form. While the goals of such notation systems are laudable, the unfortunate reality is that most dancers and choreographers cannot read or write the notation; that is, they are loath to take the considerable ...
متن کاملAutomatic Labanotation Generation Based on Human Motion Capture Data
As a kind of dance notation, Labanotation has been adopted extensively as an analysis and record system for performing dances. This article aims to generate Labanotation automatically from human motion capture data stored in BVH (Bio-vision Hierarchy) files. First, we convert motion capture data into position format. Then we analyze motions separately according to whether the motion belongs to ...
متن کاملLabanotation for Design of Movement-Based Interaction
This paper reports findings from a study of Labanotation, an already established movement notation, as a design tool for movement-based interaction where movements of the human body are direct input to technology. Using Labanotation, we transcribed movements performed by players of two different Eyetoy games. Our analysis identified a range of advantages and disadvantages of the potential use o...
متن کاملLabanotation and Life Forms: Computer Animation as a Complement to Dance Notation
This presentation suggests ways in which notators can use the Life Forms animation program to complement the teaching, learning, and use of Labanotation. It begins by presenting examples of dance animations, addresses questions of notation versus animation assumptions and conventions, and concludes with a hands-on workshop introducing basic animation techniques. 1.
