[MEI-L] Release of MEI 2012 v2.0.0

[Joachim Veit]

Dear Eleanor,
thanks for your mail - I hope that you arose from the auto accident 
without any as only any harm!!
Yes, we can meet on Thursday - the Edirom presentation has now been 
fixed from 13:30 to 14:30, so perhaps it would be the best to meet 
around noon or earlier.
May I propose to meet either at 11:00 or 12:00. Would you prefere to 
meet at the Conference directly or should I come to your Hotel (in this 
case, I think 11:00 would be the better time)
Best greetings,
Joachim
P.S. Would you mind when Johannes takes part in our meeting?

>> LABELLING SCHEME
>> MEI 2012 v2.0.0 is the complete name for this release. While "MEI 2012"
> is the label for it, the "v2.0.0" is the technical identification for it.
> We will use this numbering scheme for all subsequent releases of MEI. Let
> me explain the numbers a little bit. The first digit indicates the
> technical foundation to be used. We have built this release from scratch
> using a different technology (something I'm coming back to later), so this
> is the second iteration of MEI, following the original 2010-05 release.
> The second digit indicates changes in the schema, the third digit changes
> to the documentation. That means the number v2.0.1 would be used for a
> revised documentation for the current release, the number v2.1.3 would
> indicate a change in the schema itself, that already had three revisions
> to the documentation.
>>
>> TECHNICAL BACKGROUND - ODD
>> Starting with MEI 2012 v2.0.0, MEI is described using TEI's ODD, which
> stands for One Document Does-it-all. This is a meta schema language that
> allows one to generate schemas and documentation from the same source. It
> also facilitates customizing MEI in a self-documenting way. We already
> have a preliminary customization service for those of you familiar with
> ODD at http://custom.music-encoding.org.
>>
>> GUIDELINES
>> Compared to MEI 2010-05, we completely rewrote the documentation for
> MEI. We had a tag library for that, which was helpful, but which required
> a certain amount of familiarity with the schema to work with it. Now we
> have a nearly 700 page document which still includes a tag library, but
> also around 250 pages explaining how to use MEI to encode different
> features of music notation of various kinds. It follows the module
> structure of MEI and significantly increases accessibility of the schema.
> Make sure to have a look at this PDF, which is contained in the release
> zip mentioned above, but is also separately available from
> http://music-encoding.googlecode.com/files/MEI_Guidelines_2012_v2.0.0.pdf.
>>
>> TODO
>> Even though we have finished this release, there are still things to
> improve. First, we plan to reshape our website at music-encoding.org to
> match this new release. We plan to include the Guidelines, a revised tag
> library section, and a collection of MEI sample encodings. We will address
> these issues successively, starting in the next couple of weeks. What
> should happen simultaneously is that we gather feedback on the release,
> specifically on the Guidelines. If you have the opportunity to work a
> little bit with the Guidelines in the next few weeks or months, please do
> that. We hope to improve the Guidelines in a number of several small steps
> until the end of the current DFG/NEH funded grant, which will be summer
> next year.

>> If you have any further questions, feel free to ask us personally or
> here on MEI-L.
