[MEI-L] Support of MEI in a TEI tool

[Kijas, Anna E]

That is wonderful news! Thank you for sharing this with the community, Giuliano and Dennis. I have used TEI-Publisher minimally for TEI project work and I think that this has a lot of potential TEI focused projects that also have notated music. I will share the blog post and the details about Wolfgang Meier and Magdalena Turska’s upcoming Edirom workshop amongst a few digital humanities lists and groups here in the U.S.

Best,
Anna

Subject: [MEI-L] Support of MEI in a TEI tool

Dear MEI-Listeners,

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 supporting MEI through Verovio! 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.

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 their blog post (https://e-editiones.org/music-is-in-the-air) and of course feel free to contact us.

All the best,
Giuliano and Dennis

P.S. We are also pleased to see that Wolfgang Meier and Magdalena Turska are offering a course on TEI-Publisher at the Edirom Summer School (https://ess.uni-paderborn.de/2020/programm.html#teiPublisher)
