Hi all,
this one is quite relevant to the work on sem-web/ontologies. You might
have already stumbled upon it, but maybe it's useful to mention it
explicitly.

Music Encoding Conference 2017 Call for Proposals
You are cordially invited by the Music Encoding Initiative community to
participate in the Music Encoding Conference, which will be held 16-17
May 2017 (with pre-conference workshops on 15 May and an ‘un-conference’
day on 18 May) in Tours, France, in cooperation with the Centre d’Études
Supérieures de la Renaissance (CESR) <http://cesr.univ-tours.fr/> based
at the Université François-Rabelais Tours <http://www.univ-tours.fr/>.
Music encoding is a critical component of the emerging fields of digital
musicology, digital editions, symbolic music information retrieval, and
others. At the centre of these fields, the Music Encoding Conference has
emerged as an important cross-disciplinary venue for theorists,
musicologists, librarians, and technologists to meet and discuss new
advances in their fields. The Music Encoding Conference is the annual
focal point for the Music Encoding Initiative community
(http://music-encoding.org), but members from all encoding and analysis
communities are welcome to participate.
Authors are invited to upload their submission for review to our
Conftool website: https://www.conftool.net/music-encoding2017.
Proposals for papers, posters, panel discussions, and pre-conference
workshops are encouraged. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
* music encoding as a theoretical approach for research
* methodologies for encoding, music editing, description and analysis
* rendering of symbolic music data in audio and graphical forms
* relationships between symbolic music data, encoded text, and
facsimile images
* capture, interchange, and re-purposing of music data and metadata
* music encoding and symbolic music information retrieval
* ontologies, authority files, and linked data in music encoding and
description
* additional topics relevant to music encoding, editing, and description
The deadline for all submissions is *4 November 2016 (midnight UK

Please also include a short statement regarding your current interests
related to music encoding.
*Panel discussion *proposals, describing the topic and nature of the
