==================================================
SECOND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The Music Encoding Conference 2013: Concepts, Methods, Editions
22-24 May, 2013
==================================================

You are cordially invited to participate in the Music Encoding Conference 
2013 - Concepts, Methods, Editions, to be held 22-24 May, 2013, at the 
Mainz Academy for Literature and Sciences in Mainz, Germany.

Music encoding is now a prominent feature of various areas in musicology 
and music librarianship. The encoding of symbolic music data provides a 
foundation for a wide range of scholarship, and over the last several 
years, has garnered a great deal of attention in the digital humanities. 
This conference intends to provide an overview of the current state of 
data modeling, generation, and use, and aims to introduce new 
perspectives on topics in the fields of traditional and computational 
musicology, music librarianship, and scholarly editing, as well as in the 
broader area of digital humanities.

With its dual focus on music encoding and editing in the context of the 
digital humanities, the Program Committee is happy to announce keynote 
lectures by Frans Wiering (Universiteit Utrecht), and Daniel Pitti 
(University of Virginia), both distinguished scholars in their respective 
fields of musicology and markup technologies in the digital humanities.

Proposals for papers, posters, panel discussions, and pre-conference 
workshops are encouraged.  Prospective topics for submissions include:
* theoretical and practical aspects of music, music notation models, and 
scholarly editing
* rendering of symbolic music data in audio and graphical forms
* relationships between symbolic music data, encoded text, and facsimile 
images
* capture, interchange, and re-purposing of music data and metadata
* ontologies, authority files, and linked data in music encoding
* additional topics relevant to music encoding and music editing

Paper and poster proposals must contain no more than 1000 words and a 
references section with no more than five relevant bibliographic 
references.  A length requirement for final papers has not yet been 
determined; however, poster presentations will be limited to 2 pages in 
the proceedings.

Panel sessions may be one and a half or three hours in length. Proposals 
for panel sessions, describing the topic and nature of the session and 
including short biographies of the participants, should be no longer than 
2000 words.

Proposals for pre-conference workshops, to be held on May 21st, must be 
no longer than 2000 words and must include a detailed syllabus and 
schedule and a description of space and technical requirements.  
  
Detailed submission instructions, including author guidelines and 
authoritative stylesheets for each submission type, are available on the 
conference webpage at https://music-encoding.org/conference/submission.

All accepted papers, posters, and reports of panel sessions and workshops
will be included in the conference proceedings, tentatively scheduled to
be published by the end of 2013.
