History:Next Generation Schema/Conversion Edge Cases

The intent of this page is to compile some edge cases examples that should be taken into consideration during the conversion of data to NGS.

Automatic merging of releases using 'Part of set' AR

• Each disc may have a different artist:

  Pour le meilleur et pour le rire (disc 1) vs Pour le meilleur et pour le rire (disc 2)

• The same barcode may appear on multiple release events.
  • Either this is the same release with multiple label/cat#
  • Or it may be different releases:

    Serge Gainsbourg (disc 1)

• Multi-discs release with missing discs:
  • Das magische Messer

• A disc may be available separately and in a boxset, but has a PartOfSet relationship for the boxset
  • Chansons Rock
