Definition
From the (pre-NGS) wiki page, " a Series is a sequence of separate Releases or Tracks with a common theme, artist, label or genre; usually prominent in the naming of branding of releases or tracks in the series."
What it might look like
The current thinking is that a Series would be an entity, displayed more or less the way a label is displayed.
- Series (entity)
- MBID
- Name
- Annotation
- Maybe start/end dates derived from the first/last known releases?
- Parts (release, release group, tracks or whatever), ordered either by explicit part number (e.g. "Volume 2"), or by release date (or catalog number?)
- Relationships
- The subject of the series, if any, which might be an artist or label
- Images (sticker or logo)
- URLs
- discogs (example. Note that this is just a repurposed "label" page)
- official site
- ?
In [mb-style], reosarevok started the discussion and outlined some UI elements, while monxton suggested a free text field for "Vol. 1" and such, I think for cases when it isn't part of the release title.
In the forums, Rovastar pointed to series-within-series and asked for the ability to nest them. Example: Series/Ministry_Of_Sound
What might be contained in a series
- Traditional label-based Series, of course
- Episodic broadcasts (podcasts, radio shows etc)
- Recorded lectures, presentations etc
- ?
Discussions
Post-NGS
Pre-NGS
Prior discussions centered around a release-release sequential AR ( [Release A] is part of a series, the next part is [Release B]).
This approach isn't ideal because some series are quite large.
Other
Should this be one type of a more general "container" entity?
Other possible container types could be:
- Catalogs (for Works)
- Box sets
- I don't know. Would this address any of the issues in MBS-4450?
