This workshop is an open workshop. The goal of the LinkedMusic Partnership is to link music databases through metadata schemas: structures for organizing information stored in a database. This will go a long way towards bringing online music search to the same level of sophistication currently possible for text-based resources, allowing us to answer fundamental questions about music and how it interacts with human creativity, society, culture, and history.

This workshop is intended for individuals with some knowledge of MEI who want to learn how to work with XML markup for research and analysis. It provides a hands-on introduction to XPath, a powerful query language for XML documents, and XSLT, a language for transforming XML data. By engaging with XSLT's functional programming approach, participants will explore ways to articulate and investigate research questions rooted in an XML-based document model. The emphasis of our workshop is extracting data (or metadata) from MEI documents for analysis. Markup in documents supplies structures and contexts that are especially useful for processing data beyond what we can do with "plain text." Most of the workshop will focus on learning basic XPath navigation and some calculation functions. After this, we will show how XPath is applied in XSLT templates to address specific elements that hold data of interest for visualization (e.g., notes) and exemplify some fundamental transformations. We will produce simple structured documents for storing, sharing, and visualising data during the workshop: HTML lists (and tables) and CSV files. We look forward to processing some participant-supplied MEI before, during, and after the workshop. We will carefully document the XSLT we supply during the workshop to help participants revise and adapt the code to their projects.

In Matt Haigs popular sci-fi novel “How to stop time”, Tom Hazard, currently looking like a 41-year-old, has been playing music for four centuries, being 439 years old due to a rare condition of aging much slower than ordinary people. In attempting to make sense of his 400-years-old existence to find a path forward, he also seeks to make sense of the role of music in his long life.
Becoming a music researcher is often motivated by making sense of music one way or another, though we usually have much less than 400 years of personal experience we can draw upon. With the digital encodings we have at hand now, we process music information that spans way more than 400 years, as demonstrated at this year’s MEC conference, with papers addressing Gregorian tradition, polyphonic lute music, Schubert, Stravinsky, post-tonal music, Klezmer, or electroacoustic and film music. The diversity of research topics addressed, such as the study of melody, musical form, polyphony, repeated structures, performances or visualizations, demonstrate different aspects of our musical scholarship related to de- and encoding of music information. In attempting to make sense of music together, how do we connect these different perspectives on music?
To open a reflection on this question during the conference, I will discuss in my talk examples from 25 years of research at Utrecht University on de- and encoding of music information, connecting musicological inquiries on musical structures with applications of these structures in different interaction contexts. In our case, finding connections between musical structures and interactions is crucial for demonstrating why music research matters within the academic and societal context in which we work. It also became important in our education of students at the intersection of computer science and music, for making sense of music together in the classroom, which brings me back to Tom Hazard.
