The **Open Music Observatory** is a bottom-up, decentralised information hub of high-quality, curated data about music.
The ambition of the Open Music Observatory is to provide a practical roadmap for creating a European Music Observatory in a bottom-up, decentralised way. Instead of waiting for a grand, central agreement on what should a European music observatory be collecting and who should control it, we suggest a pragmatic approach: allow any data owners and collectors who satisfy certain quality and cooperation rules to add their data to an **Open Music Observatory**; when it reaches a sufficient maturity for use in Europe, then decide if its maintenance requires a new institutional form or not.
