I see the sense in tagging MARC in order to make it possible to e.g. index it but would there be a semantically stronger option than abbr? What about term?

[bwbohl]

I thinks it's worthwhile to consider deeper and semantically richer tagging of the guidelines but maybe we should come up with a clear concept what we want to achieve with it rather earlier than later as TEI offers such a rich tags for so many purposes…

Since MARC is short for MAchine Readable Cataloguing I'd argue that technically <abbr> isn't wrong nor imprecise here. Considering the examples given for <term> within the TEI guidelines I'd say it doesn't really apply entirely to the MARC example here.

I like the idea of having a glossary as some of the TEI examples refer to. We might think about building a glossary for MEI, however, my intuition would be to focus more on the musical terms that are not abbreviations but of technical nature.

ok, let's go with the abbreviation for a term ;-)

[bwbohl]

Strategy then should be to markup similar abbreviations and likewise terms if they appear, then use a script to collect them all and then enhance the encoding with some key. an then enable automatic compilation of indices across the guidelines

I' still pondering on what tag would be best here; them main question for me is: what do we want to achieve with this tagging?

sounds wonderful, thanks!

just to link it, this goes hand in hand with #913
