Music Encoding Initiative (MEI)

music-encoding.org

Scholarly Music Editions More than the mere conversion of a

text into XML?

→ probably “directed graphs are the more suitable data structure for encoding (music) texts than tree structures (and thus XML)”

Vision of an edition model

● core based on NIE-INE ontologies and Knora framework

● apply existing ontologies:

○ DoReMus

○ CIDOC CRMinf

○ Music(OWL) Ontology

Applied ontologies: Belief Model of CIDOC CRMinf

Future work (work in progress)● migration of existing Webern data

from “old” Salsah to Knora● embedding core of Webern model in

the realm of NIE-INE ontologies● get the music encoding in RDF/MEI● determine classes and concepts

(re-)used from external ontologies (Music (Owl) Ontology & DOREMUS)

Thank you!
