Biographical details #22

Closed StephCornwell closed 3 years ago

viii. Biographical details Include biographical information on the creator when such information is not common knowledge and where the objects are unique or significant to Wellcome Collection.

Thinking where you have a series/group of objects with the same creator - is there flexibility in this statement to have this information at a series level or should we be more explicit?

VickyTEI commented 3 years ago

To my mind its general enough to cover both single & multiple objects. Could put the s in objects in brackets to indicate single or multiple?

StephCornwell commented 3 years ago

I was thinking more about the presumption throughout the framework that you are creating a single record and not linked records about a single object. Thinking about the merits of CALM as a hierarchical system and how we don't need to repeat information that applies to all objects below a record. I suppose the question was does this need to be explicit in the framework or just something that we add to system specific guidance.

Ok, get what you mean. Yes, no point in repeating info. I'll look at how we can be clear when applying to situations that involve multiple objects
