Week 5: Standards in Curation

Task 1: Metadata Scheme

In a group lab, my colleagues and I created the following metadata schema, which you can find below.

title: name of the transcribed piece, original name;

composer: name of the person who created the product;

lyricist: name of the person who created the lyrics;

arranger: name of the person who created a particular arrangement of the product;

publisher: name of the person/label who is responsible for the publication;

location: city/country of the publisher;

date: date of publication;

source: from which database the product is taken;

copyright: a license to use and distribute the product;

encoder: name of the person who encoded the MEI file;

remaster: date, place, executors of the product re-release.

Task 2: Modifying the MEI File According to the Schema

The MEI file was edited based on the scheme parameters above. Below you can see the code snippet from the MEI-Friend editor. The file is available for download here.
