Allow Instrument Attribute for Members of a Band
Should MemberOfBandRelationshipType not have an instrument attribute? --DonRedman
This would introduce some additional complexity in interpreting artist roles: see ArtistRoleInheritance --MatthewExon
Another thought: the instrument attribute doesn't have "vocals", so this wouldn't work for recording singers. Maybe the InstrumentRelationshipAttribute hierarchy should include the VocalRelationshipAttribute hierarchy, and "Performed instrument on" be merged with "Performed vocal on"? There are other roles for members of a band as well: The Prodigy has two dancers as "official" members. IMO these could probably be adequately covered by "other" --MatthewExon
Rename Legal Name to Birth Name
I propose renaming this simply because more often than not, finding someone's birth name is more plausible than their legal name since names can be changed and although in the US such information becomes public record, this may not be the case everywhere. This was actually changed from official name to legal name due to discussions over Wendy/Walter Carlos. In this scenario Wendy is probably the legal name and Walter is the birth name. Both names should be listed separately since this person has released recordings under each name. --WolfSong
- It might be solved with the LinkingDifferentArtistNames proposal. -- murdos 10:16, 04 June 2007 (UTC)
