Abstract
In the paper we study an issue of building tools for accessing and processing knowledge. Such tools are fundamental facets of user friendly human-machine communication. An efficient understanding of data becomes of paramount relevance when dealing with a wealth of human-system interaction and communication. The underlying objective of this paper is to elaborate concepts of aforementioned tools based on automatic data understanding. The syntactic and semantic facets of data integrated in frames of granularity act as fundamental mechanism for data structuring in a form of granular cognitive maps. Linguistic approach to data structuring allows for establishing a suitable perspective at the problem at hand where knowledge structures need to be accessed and processed. Rather than embarking on the formal framework, our intent is to illustrate a realization of the paradigm in the realm of music information, its processing and understanding.
