The Music Encoding Initiative as a Document-Encoding Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent changes in the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) have transformed it into an extensible platform from which new notation encoding schemes can be produced. This paper introduces MEI as a document-encoding framework, and illustrates how it can be extended to encode new types of notation, eliminating the need for creating specialized and potentially incompatible notation encoding standards.

The Music Encoding Initiative (MEI)
This paper draws parallels between the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) and the proposed Music Encoding Initiative (MEI), reviews existing design principles for music representations, and describes an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) document type definition (DTD) for modeling music notation which attempts to incorporate those principles.
متن کاملMusic Encoding Initiative (MEI) DTD
This paper provides a technical introduction to the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) DTD currently under development by the author. It is consciously modeled on the highly successful Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) DTD. The primary purpose of the MEI DTD is the creation of a comprehensive yet extensible standard for the encoding and transmission of music documents in electronic form.
متن کاملA Framework for Distributed Semantic Annotation of Musical Score: "Take It to the Bridge!"
Music notation expresses performance instructions in a way commonly understood by musicians, but printed paper parts are limited to encodings of static, a priori knowledge. In this paper we present a platform for multi-way communication between collaborating musicians through the dynamic modification of digital parts: the Music Encoding and Linked Data (MELD) framework for distributed real-time...
متن کاملSeparating Presentation and Content in MEI
Common Western music notation is traditionally organized on staves that can be grouped into systems. When multiple systems appear on a page, they are arranged from the top to the bottom of the page, similar to lines of words in a text document. Encoding music notation documents for printing requires this arrangement to be captured. However, in the music notation model proposed by the Music Enco...
متن کاملDesign patterns in XML music representation
Design patterns attempt to formalize the discussion of recurring problems and their solutions. This paper introduces several XML design patterns and demonstrates their usefulness in the development of XML music representations. The patterns have been grouped into several categories of desirable outcome of the design process – modularity, separation of data and meta-data, reduction of learning r...
