• Resumen

  • Metadata are a very broad and extremely differentiated subject and ranges from rudimentary catalog data todeeply indexed scientific catalogs (e.g., catalogs of works). In this paper, the concept of metadata in the contextof MEI is first examined, before two examples are used to show that metadata are more than just rudimentarydescriptions. These examples are also intended to illustrate the extent to which metadata are encoded in thefield of music philology and thus represent an attempt to create a little more awareness for the work of theMetadata and Cataloging Interest Group of MEI.The examples deal on the one hand with the encoding of performance resources and on the other hand withwatermarks. In both cases, the possibilities of metadata encoding with MEI version 4 are exhausted and it isdiscussed which steps are useful and necessary to create an even deeper, machine-readable structure so thatthese sub-fields of the MEI metadata can also be used for larger scientific purposes such as analyses.
