Council members,

This came in from Susan, the entry point for new SIGs.  The floor is open 
for discussion.  If no objections are raised within the next few days, I 
will treat it as accepted.

All the best,

Dear Christian,

I received this email today from Raffaele Viglianti (Kings College
London) to convene a new SIG on music encoding. It's a great expansion
of the use of TEI. I pass this along to you for Council approval.

all best

Dear Susan,

Dot Porter (University of Kentucky), Gabriel Bodard (King's College
London), Perry Roland (University of Virginia), and I, have been
discussing about the realization of a proposal for a music encoding SIG.

Title: Music in TEI
Description: The Music in TEI SIG seeks to bring together users of the
TEI who are interested in incorporating encoding for music into their
TEI documents.
The goal of the SIG is to examine the current possibilities for encoding
both the physical representation of music and the aural common elements
between different notation systems, and to decide on a preliminary
recommendation/agenda for music encoding in the TEI, whether directly
via adoption of new elements or by importing a recommended namespace
from an existing external schema.

*Encoding western music notation from all time periods, from ancient
through modern.
*Encoding not only the music notation, but the aural aspects common to
different notation systems.
*Encoding music and text together as well as music on its own.

Contact person: Raffaele Viglianti, raffaele.viglianti at kcl.ac.uk

In case the SIG will be approved, we have a few other names of people
that we will invite to join the mailing list and the wiki.
We are looking forward to hear from you.

Yours,
Raffaele Viglianti
