Ollie Cargill’s MCA Project: Medieval Music

Week 5: Standards in Curation

• For this week’s task I added metadata to my MEI file. This shows what my MEI file looked like before and after the metadata was added to the mei header.

Before metadata	After metadata

Metadata added to the File Description (fileDesc)

• In the titleStmt, I added a title and subtitle. I also added the name of the encoder (myself in this case) in the respStmt within the titleStmt.
• Within the editionStmt I added information about the edition of the hymn I used which was from IMSLP.org. I added the arranger’s name, the date the arrangement was uploaded and what voices the arrangement was written for. I included where it was published (IMSLP) within the respStmt tag.
• Within the pubStmt I added the date in which the piece was encoded into verovio, my name as the publisher, the location of publishing and the date of publishing.
• Within the seriesStmt I added a title (Ollie Cargill’s MCA 2022 portfolio) to indicate the name of the dataset that the piece is now encoded in.

Metadata added to the Encoding Description (encodingDesc)

• In the projectDesc I added a brief description of why the piece was encoded.
