The Web is a globalized platform aimed at supporting all our world cultures. However, like most Information Technologies, it has been developed from the West and for the West, even in the cases of technologies developed outside the US and Europe. Thus, we need to pose the following questions: Are our web technologies culture independent? Can we really use the same information technologies to develop web platforms for different cultures? In this talk I will argue in favor of the NO answer to these questions. I will defend the idea that we need to develop culture specific technologies when we deal with culture sensitive information. I will use the example of music technologies and talk about the research that we are carrying out to develop information technologies to support some of the most consolidated non-western music cultures. In the project CompMusic we work on the automatic description of music through the development of information modeling techniques and web systems applicable to five non-Western music cultures: Hindustani (North India), Carnatic (South India), Turkish-makam (Turkey), Andalusian (North Africa), and Han (China). By looking at the specificities of these mature non-western cultures we can identify the shortcomings of our current technologies when dealing with culture data and we can propose solutions that can give light to the problems of multiculturalism from a technological point of view.
