Source descriptions are kept at a minimum in the Nielsen catalogue since they are readily available in the complete edition of Carl Nielsen’s works, also accessible for download directly from the catalog. The Catalogue of Carl Nielsen’s Works (CNW), published online by the Danish Centre for Music Editing, is the first ever thematic-bibliographic registration of all Nielsen’s compositions.

Its chief deliverable is a set of Guidelines which specify encoding methods for machine-readable texts, chiefly in the humanities, social sciences and linguistics.
