Community,<br>
<br>
yesterday, our project Beethovens Werkstatt was officially
launched with a ceremonial act at the Beethoven-Haus in
Bonn, and I’m glad to inform you about the work that our
team has done in the last few weeks. As you know, our work
on the project actually started earlier, including
contributions to the Music Encoding Conference in
Charlottesville. In September, we did a workshop in Detmold
with Perry, evaluating possibilities for encoding genetical
processes in Beethoven’s manuscripts. During this workshop,
we came up with a model which heavily relies on the
facsimiles, instead of trying to reflect graphical details
into the MEI code.<br>
<br>
The model is still not complete, but we anticipate to
propose it as addition to MEI. You can have a look at its
current state at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/BeethovensWerkstatt/Data-Model"
target="_blank">https://github.com/BeethovensWerkstatt/Data-Model</a>.
We will provide additional documentation (read: a chapter
for the Guidelines plus several examples) and move it to the
MEIncubator for review. The main motivation for setting up
our own repo is that the proposed module should be
absolutely generic, whereas our implementation for Beethoven
will be specific, and it seems good to separate these things
right away.<br>
<br>
In order to illustrate the use of this model, and to show
the potential of combining high-res facsimiles with MEI and
SVG, we’ve set up a prototype that explains the textual
development of a small section of Beethoven’s op.111. This
prototype is available at<br>
<br>

<br>
Again, this is work in progress with a whole lot of known
limitations. In the near future, we plan to provide a full
english localization at least of the tool (the contents may
take more time). Also, we plan to consider the key signature
when providing note labels in the interface ;-)<br>
Our schedule is to clean the code so that others may step in
or fork our code more easily, and we hope to put everything
on Github in January. In the meantime, we’re happy about
feedback, either here on MEI-L or by personal message to me
or someone else from the team. Please keep in mind, though,
that this prototype is not the final result of our work, but
the first trial.<br>
<br>
For the Beethoven team,<br>
Johannes<br>
