MEI 2010 to 2012

Transforming the 2010-05 schema version of the Music Encoding Initiative to the 2012 (2.0.0) version.

Contents

  • README.md: this file
  • createXSLT.xql: XQuery Script to automatically generate MEI-2010to2012.xsl by comparing old and new element (and attribute) names and matching those where only capitalization differs.
  • MEI-2010to2012.xsl: XSLT Stylesheet to transform your MEI 2010-05 files to the 2012 (2.0.0) version

Usage

Apply the stylesheet MEI-2010to2012.xsl to your MEI 2010-05 files. Set the parameter $warning to false() if you want to supress all warnings. (Tested with Saxon-HE 9)

Manually modified templates

Elements and attributes from the 2010-05 version that could not be matched automatically are:

  • accessdesc
  • altmeiid
  • blockquote
  • clefchange
  • exhibithist
  • extptr
  • extref
  • fingerprint
  • keychange
  • keywords
  • pgfoot1
  • pghead1
  • profiledesc
  • treatmenthist
  • treatmentsched
  • @complete
  • @entityref
  • @href
  • @label.full
  • @mediacontent
  • @medialength

Thanks to Andrew Hankinson those could be resolved!

Known restrictions

Some content models have changed so you might need to apply further tweaks to your data:

  • <altmeiid>: this becomes <altID> with a tighter content model, only allowing <lb>, <rend>, <stack> and text().
  • <clefchange>: this becomes <clef> and doesn't support @tstamp, @staff or @layer any longer.
  • <fingerprint>: use of <fingerprint> deprecated.
  • <profiledesc>: this becomes <workDesc> and thereby introduces a slightly different semantic. All child elements can be matched to their 2012 counterparts, though.
