Dear Tony, Just a few suggestions:
Proposal: Write scope note for Exx Actor Appellation http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/crm_issues.html#is102 Folks, This is very much a first draft -- I'm sure there will be some useful comments about this one: PROPOSED ACTOR SCOPE NOTE: An Actor Appellation is any sort of name, number or code >> or symbol or logo >> used to identify an Actor. An Actor will typically have more than one Appellation, and Appellations in turn may have alternative representations. The distinction between corporate and personal names, which is particularly important in library applications, should be made by explicitly linking the Actor Appellation to either a Person or Group/Legal Body entity. If this is not possible, the distinction can be made through the use of the "has type" mechanism. Examples: "Johnny", "John Doe", "Doe, J.", "J.X.D.", "246-14-2304", "The Third Man". >> (suggested further examples: "Prince", "[Love Symbol]", "The Master of the Flemish Madonna", "The Master of Madonna with parrot", "Raphael's workshop", "the Brontës", "ICOM", "International Council of Museums") >> Cheers, T. ====================================================================== Tony Gill, ArtSTOR Director of Metadata The Andrew W.
