Issue #6 - Makers in Canada Scope and Definition #6

Closed chin-rcip closed 4 years ago

Philippe Michon Jul 18th at 8:03 AM As we are going to manage Canadian makers or makers who produced in Canada, we are going to need a way to identify them in the museum datasets. In other words, I'm not sure that our scope allows us to add all the makers recorded in museum datasets. (edited)

Stephen Hart 1 month ago What is the scope of Artefact Canada now? If it includes ALL the artefacts in Canadian museum, then we have to record who made them in MiC, even if it’s Jacques-Louis David or Picasso (or the field author will stay empty?) If Artefact Canada only records artefacts created by Canadians or in Canada, then yes, we should not record all the makers from Canadian museums’ data sets

heather 1 month ago Artefacts Canada includes artefacts made all over the world by artists and manufacturers from all over the world. Not just by Canadians or in Canada.

Philippe Michon 1 month ago As you all see, we planned a meeting next Tuesday to discuss MiC scope. Ahead of the discussion, I think it's going to be complicated to segregate the data between Canadian Makers/Makers who produced in Canada and the others. We will have to filter on the birthplace and the production place and I'm not sure we will have enough clear data to do this. If we used the objects datasets it could be easier but even if it's doable, do we want to avoid to have Picasso in our records? I think it's important for the museum exposure to be able to know where Picasso's works are in Canada. If we don't include Picasso in Makers, we will have to rely on the Getty to be sure they are doing the links and this is not guaranteed.

Settled to a more broader sens of all the people related to the artefacts in Canadian collections
