- artist collaborated on artist
- artist was a collaboration between artist
[edit] Description
This specifies that an artist collaborated on a project. The second artist is the collaboration as a whole - not just some other artist who is also in the collaboration. It is only intended for short-term projects consisting of independent artists, who move on after the collaboration is finished.
This AdvancedRelationshipType for ArtistArtistRelationships is part of the MusicalAssociationRelationshipClass.
[edit] Relationship Attributes
[edit] "additional"
There is no guideline yet how "additional" (AdditionalRelationshipAttribute) can be used for a collaboration relationship. I suppose this should designate collaborators who did not play a major role in the collaboration.
[edit] "minor"
There is no guideline yet how "minor" (MinorRelationshipAttribute) can be used for a collaboration relationship, or what the difference is between "minor" and "additional". Any suggestions would be welcome.
[edit] Examples
Mötorhead and Girlschool collaborated briefly on a project they called Headgirl, but the collaboration was brief enough (compared to their independent careers) that "Headgirl" isn't considered an independent artist. In this case, a new artist called "Headgirl" gets created, and both Mötorhead and Girlschool have collaboration relationships with Headgirl.
