Dear MEI-Listeners,<br>
<br>
this is to let you know that we (Giuliano Di Bacco,
Bloomington/Dennis Ried, Karlsruhe) have been involved in a
conversation with the E-Editiones community. In case you don't know
them, this is a new society of historians, philologists and
humanities technologists whose goal is to "promote open standards
for digital editions and free software based on them"
(e-editiones.org). The main people are the makers of TEI-Publisher,
an app built on the XML native database eXist-db for publishing
scholarly edited corpora in TEI. Dennis and I bumped into each other
there because we both work on TEI-related projects. During our
conversations with Wolfgang Meier (the creator of eXist) and others
of E-E, we ended up mentioning MEI and suggesting some use cases
where music notation is found in verbal documents (to be encoded
with <notatedMusic> in TEI). As a result, they invited us to
give a presentation in one of their monthly community meetups. We
thought that, apart from discussing our specific needs, it could be
a nice opportunity to spread the word about MEI. Our very simple
presentation was well received, we guess, as they are already
working at <i>supporting MEI through Verovio</i>! Dennis and I have
agreed to work with them to supply some real TEI+MEI examples of
different nature and age, for a future minor release of this
TEI-Publisher tool. <br>
<br>
All in all, we thought that this may be of interest to others
dealing with mixed verbal/musical materials. Anyone who wants to
know more please see <i>their</i> blog post (<a

Turska are offering a course on TEI-Publisher at the Edirom Summer
School (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
