Dear colleagues in music encoding,
May I point your attention to an event of broader interest also to the
members of the tex-music group and invite you cordially to participate
in the Music Encoding Conference by the Music Encoding Initiative
community, which will be held 19-21 May 2015 (with pre-conference
workshops on 18 May) in Florence, Italy, in cooperation
with IAML Italia.
The quest for a coherent and universal system for the digital
representation of music notation has been pursued for decades and the
recent accomplishments of the Music Encoding Initiative have garnered
a great deal of attention in a wide range of music scholarship and in
the broader digital humanities. The encoding of symbolic music data
opens new research paths to traditional music studies (from editing to
analysis) and computational musicology, and constitutes a foundational
tool for music bibliography and librarianship. This conference aims to
gather specialists in all these
areas, to discuss the current state of modeling, generation and use of
music encoding, to exchange experiences, and to forge collaborations.
Proposals for papers, posters, panel discussions, and pre-conference
workshops are encouraged. Suggested topics include, but are not
limited to:
• music encoding as a theoretical approach for research
• methodologies for encoding, music editing, description and analysis
• 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 and
description
• additional topics relevant to music encoding, editing, and description
The deadline for all submissions is 23 November 2014. PDF or
Word-compatible files are preferred. All submissions must include:
• name(s) of author(s)
• title
• abstract
• current or most recent institutional affiliation of author(s) and
e-mail address
• proposal type: paper, poster, panel session, or workshop
For paper and poster proposals, abstracts of no more than 1000 words,
including relevant bibliographic references, are requested. Please
also include a short statement regarding your current interests
related to music encoding.
Panel session proposals, describing the topic and nature of the
session and including short biographies of the participants, must be
no longer than 2000 words.
Proposals for half- or full-day pre-conference workshops, to be held
on May 18th, should include the workshop’s proposed duration, as well
as its logistical and technical requirements.
Additional details regarding registration, accomodations, etc. will be
announced on the conference webpage
(http://music-encoding.org/conference/2015).
Please note: As Florence in May is very crowded by tourists, it is
suggested to book your accomodation as soon as possible, and not later
than the end of 2014. Many hotels allow to book without any expense. A
change would often be easier and cheaper, in case of need, then a very
improbable last minute booking.
Important dates:
- 23 November 2014: Deadline for abstract submissions
- 10 January 2015: Notification of acceptance of submission
- 18 May 2015: Pre-conference workshops
- 19-21 May 2015: Conference
If you have any questions, please e-mail conference2015 at
