SIG:Music:Meeting2011
TEI Music SIG Meeting 15 October, 2011, Würzburg, Germany
>Main page of the Music SIG wiki
The SIG meeting took place at the annual TEI gathering, which this year was in Würzburg, Germany. The SIG met for one hour and a half, during which RV briefly reported on activities since the last meeting; then the group worked together towards determining new short- and long-term activities.
Report on this year's activities
The SIG has mainly been busy completing the work left-over from last year around the introduction of the new element tei:notatedMusic and the encoding of texts containing music notation. Work completed:
- opened Webspace;
- publication Guidelines for notatedMusic and recommendations for encoding texts with music notation;
- preparation and delivery of workshop for TEIMM2011: Combining Music Notation and Text – Encoding and Rendering MEI in TEI.
New activities
Having completed work on the TEI grant, the SIG is at the end of a project and needs to establish new work to pursue the SIG's agenda. The following are some ideas that were discussed during the meeting.
Short term
- New element for inclusion of multimedia files (RV to write feature request)
- During the council's discussion for approving notatedMusic, it became evident the need for an element to include multimedia files. We will open a feature request to continue this conversation. This element could be called media or perhaps it is necessary to create a new overarching class to include also <graphic/>; NB next council meeting is on Nov 5th.
- Integrating MusicXML in TEI via notatedMusic (should be quick job; RV + BB)
- Prepare a page on the Wiki that lists projects relevant to the SIG's aims and ask for contributions on the list (ALL)
- Besides the obvious usefulness of such list, this is partly with the aim of encouraging more conversation on the list.
Long term
- ODD + white paper for comparing headers (JK, RV, EP)
- TEI within MEI > involve list (RV)
