Open question: link albums belonging to a series to the Series entity instead of [[Various Artists|VariousArtists]]? Or better leave VA as the artist because a Series entity is not an Artist entity and this could cause implementation problems? So better link it *additionally* to the Series?

New Entities Proposal

Status: Attention.png This page is a collective proposal for new entities that have not yet been implemented, their behaviour and how to present them.

Idea

At the moment we have the following entities:

  • Album
  • Track
  • URL

I propose adding the following entities with the described behaviour:

  • Label
    • field: LabelCode
    • AR to URL possible (label website (use "official website"?), Discogs entry, Wikipedia, discography site)
    • AR to Artist ("is/was signed to from ... to ...")
    • AR to Series
    • AR to Label ("is sub-division of", "is distributor of"?)
    • album listing with all albums which have the id of this label in a release
    • "View Mods" for related edits
  • Series
    • examples: Café del Mar, Ministry of Sound, Kontor, Hed Kandi, ...
    • AR to URL possible (series website (use "official website"?), Wikipedia, discography site)
    • lists all albums belonging to this series. Linkage through AR or through album attribute?
    • "View Mods" for related edits

Description

(More detailed description missing...)

Note that both distributors and labels are described with the entity Label.

Label entities could then be used in extended release infos of albums. Both labels and series help to keep an overview of the related releases and the related mods.

Open question: link albums belonging to a series to the Series entity instead of VariousArtists? Or better leave VA as the artist because a Series entity is not an Artist entity and this could cause implementation problems? So better link it *additionally* to the Series?

Discussion

Me love! Especially I love the series proposal if it would mean that we would dump the volume number style guideline (which is used for keeping releases in a series together even if their names don't teally imply it). //bnw
