#REDIRECT [[:History:Location Proposal]] |
|||
This is a page describing as enhancement proposal for the [[MusicBrainz]] server. It is paralleled by [http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/2371 this trac ticket]. |
|||
==Rationale== |
|||
We found it is often useful to record a physical location related to tracks and releases in [[MusicBrainz]]. For example, we would like to record the studio where an album was recorded, or the venue where a concert was performed. The "venue" object resulting from this proposal will be used similarly to the Label objects used in the "release" fields of a release. |
|||
==Description== |
|||
Enter below a list of features such an object will need. |
|||
===Name=== |
|||
The name is an identifier similar to what the [[Artist]]s and [[Label]]s have. It will certainly need a "comment" to distinguish between same-named objects. |
|||
===Type=== |
|||
There are many kinds of possible "venues" we need to enter, so it is important that this field be well thought out. |
|||
Examples: |
|||
* "studio" -- this is probably going to be used often for the recording place of "normal" albums, singles and EPs. |
|||
* "venue" -- this is for places usually specialized for "artistic events" like concerts. This includes concert halls, theaters & amphitheaters, stadiums, clubs. We may want a list of options or use an annotation to be more precise. |
|||
* "festival" -- often many concerts are performed in a certain location that doesn't have any specific use outside the concert's duration. Since many concerts are performed in such places, it is necessary to be able to retain everything together. |
|||
* "other" -- I've seen things recorded in hotel rooms (there's a Roxette album for instance), private homes, and other funny places like this. We'll need to use annotations to explain some of these. |
|||
===Dates=== |
|||
Similar to creation date for Labels, birth/death date for [Artist]s, etc. It's less important for studios and venues -- though by no means completely irrelevant -- but it's very important for festivals and similar events. |
|||
===Location=== |
|||
Of course we're most interested in where a venue is. I suggest a specialized country field that works exactly like the one for the [[Release]]s, and a free-form text field for the address (as the format can be different for different countries). We can also add an (automatically-generated) URL to the Google Maps location of the address. |
|||
===Annotation=== |
|||
This is certainly going to be useful for many venues |
|||
===Relationships=== |
|||
Add any relationships here |
|||
* URL relationships: |
|||
** home page -- Many venues will have an official home page; this includes studios, venues, and festivals. |
|||
** other -- Especially for festivals there will be both official and unofficial sites. Bootleg sites may also have pages with bootlegs organized by location. |
|||
* Recording events: of course we'll need to link the venues with many release events; perhaps we need a separate wiki page for discussing those. |
