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

Sat Sep 1 01:49:33 CEST 2012

Dear Joachim,

If you do not hear otherwise, I think that 11-12 at the hotel would be good. We could probably have lunch while passing to the conference site.  

I wanted to talk you about administrative matters affecting CCARH and try to understand from you the general climate of various issues that can affect critical editions.  In the US there is unusual turbulence in the notation software market, and I am wondering what is happening in Germany, particularly among the big publishers--Bärenreiter and Schott. 

(MEI is not my agenda, but I am hoping to come to your session. I have two other meetings to schedule on Thursday, so nothing is completely certain. Also I've just been notified of the Lufthansa strike....)

Best regards,

Eleanor

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.
