New collector role #2045

Closed Jegelewicz closed 5 years ago

Jegelewicz commented 5 years ago

From #2044 Issue Documentation is http://handbook.arctosdb.org/how_to/How-to-Use-Issues-in-Arctos.html

Table http://arctos.database.museum/info/ctDocumentation.cfm?table=CTCOLLECTOR_ROLE

Value subject

Definition person depicted in a work of art

Collection type All

Attribute data type agent name

Attribute value Agents

Attribute units N/A

Part tissue flag N/A

Other ID BaseURL N/A

Context However, I wonder if it would be useful for our Art collections to have an agent role "subject" for portraits? I know they do something with locality regarding what place is depicted in landscapes. Maybe @marecaguthrie or @krgomez could weigh in on the usefulness of that as a new agent role? It's sort of related to that author role I brought up in #1863 .

Priority Please assign a priority-label.

What we have done for images depicting agents is to use the "shows agent" media relationship for the media that shows the collection object.

But if there is no media related to the object, this is not useful. I like the idea of placing the "subject", when it is a person, right up front with the maker/collector.

I agree with this.

Yes yes, a thousand times yes.

Jegelewicz commented 5 years ago

Added.

dustymc commented 5 years ago

@AJLinn how do you really feel about this?!

My only objection is in the definition - it should be more generic so it can cover field photos and such. "Agent depicted in the cataloged item."?

Jegelewicz commented 5 years ago

done

"Agent depicted in the cataloged item."?

100% agree - cataloged item could be things other than art
