Bibliography: Provide access to less selective Word version

[musicEnfanthen]

In PR #19 @pe-ro uploaded an older, less selective Word version of the bibliography that "includes items that simply mention MEI in passing, are student work, or that, in a very small number of cases, aren't correct or flattering" and proposed that "Perhaps, however, we should provide access to this information, warts and all".

[musicEnfanthen]

@pe-ro Do you have in mind a specific location where these information / this file should be stored finally?

Two possible options (not exclusive) :

1. Integrating the additional items in the current version (bib file). But I guess, there were some good reasons to exclude some items back then and to make the bibliography more selective, so this would contradict these reasons.

2. Adding the Word file as it is (with version date) to the Archive section of the MEI website where access to other documents is provided already.

Wouldn't it be nice to go without MS Word, e.g. just a txt file?

[musicEnfanthen]

Yes, of course. Or a PDF file? (Just recognized that most of the files in Archive are PDFs). Still remains the question how to handle this file, where to put it at all?

From your reaction I assume that archiving it under Archive is an option open to consensus?

It's been hell of long time ago when I first created a music encoding initiative Zotero Group an it's been somewhat orphaned since then…
but why not use it for that purpose?

[bwbohl]

forget it… you've already got a bibbase page and I got the nature of the word file wrong in the first place…

on the other hand with something in Zotero (maybe also bib base) we could use tags to mark those passer by / student work literature things an extract them to a separate list

[bwbohl]

how was the bib base generated? from a bibtex file? where and how is it maintained?

[musicEnfanthen]

Initially, I used Citavi to generate the bib file what was much faster than adding all the items by hand (but it has its own drawbacks, too).

Now the bib file is in resources/mei_bibliography.bib and single items can be added directly in the file.

Indeed, BibBase supports managing the bibliography via Zotero, but there are some issues: https://bibbase.userecho.com/communities/1-general#module_20/search/Zotero
(But maybe you could try to import the bib file into your Zotero Group and see what´s possible?)

It is also possible to add keywords directly in the bibfile, and filter the bibbase list by keywords (if I understand your idea with the "tags" correctly).

I uploaded our current bibliography to Zotero, so maybe we could add those additional publications there?

the Zotero Library is available at https://www.zotero.org/groups/1446386/music-encoding-initative

[bwbohl]

maybe this is a tool to integrate the zotero library in our website https://github.com/TIBHannover/collaborative-libraries
