Raffaele Viglianti discusses migrating the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) schema to use the One Document Does It All (ODD) format like the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). This will make MEI more modular, extensible, and customizable while also generating documentation. The TEI Special Interest Group in Music is working to combine TEI and MEI so musical notation can be encoded within TEI documents. Examples are provided and further work is outlined.

Making MEI feel ODD Raffaele Viglianti 8 of 22 Methodology Literate Programming "Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs: instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do."
