[MEI-L] Report from the MEI Technical Team Meeting 2012-02-21

[Benjamin Wolff Bohl]

On 21 February 2012 the MEI Technical Team held it's quarterly meeting . 
Topics discussed were repository strategies, referencing MEI tools 
from the http://www.music-encoding.org website and of course the MEI 
2012 release including the previously unreleased MEI Guidelines. The 
official release of MEI 2012 and corresponding guidelines is to be 
expected by August. During the next few days a pre-release of the 
schema will be made available through the newly established 
schema customization web service based on ROMA and capable of 
handling customizations files in the ODD format 
(http://customization.music-encoding.org). This web service 
will gradually offer more customizations preconfigured for specific use 
cases. At the same time projects and developers are encouraged to submit 
their own customizations to the mei-incubator 
project (http://code.google.com/p/mei-incubator/), which is designated 
as platform to share application specific 
schema customizations, experimental status modules or modifications to 
the MEI core development. Good examples for this are the 
MEI-FRBR-customization or the new solesmes module currently under 
development.
Everybody is very welcome to share and test the pre-release of the 
schema or any of the customizations on the mei-incubator. If you need 
assistance in getting a working schema out of these files, the Technical 
Team is happy to answer any such questions on this list. At the same 
time, there are ways to support the Technical Team on its work for the 
coming release. Several module descriptions are still unattended for. If 
you would like to support the MEI community, fleshing out some chapters 
for the guidelines is a good way. Your participation may range from 
providing a couple of paragraphs as a word processor document to a fully 
TEI encoded chapter including musical examples in MEI. Currently the 
following modules are vacant: analysis, corpus, figtable, 
harmony, linkalign, namesdates, ptrref, tablature, text. If you would 
like to know what these chapters actually have to cover, or you would 
like to participate on one of the other chapters, please contact 
Perry Roland (pdr4h at virginia.edu <mailto:pdr4h at virginia.edu>) or 
Johannes Kepper (kepper at edirom.de <mailto:kepper at edirom.de>).

On behalf of the MEI Technical Team,
Benjamin W. Bohl
