Dear All,
Let me quote from fellow list member Maximilian Schich's critique of
database models and CRM:
"Over decades, database models, to embody the underlying worldview, were
mostly established using formal logic and a priori expert intuition.
Database curators were subsequently used to collect vast numbers of
specific observations, enabling further traditional research, while
failing to feed back systematic updates into the underlying database models.
As a consequence, "conceptual reference models" are frozen, sometimes as
ISO standards, and out of sync with the non-intuitive complex patterns
that would emerge from large numbers of specific observations by
quantitative measurement. A systematic data science of art and culture
is now closing the loop using quantification, computation, and
visualization in addition."

Max, let me start by asking where the data underlying visualisations
such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gIhRkCcD4U is supposed to come
from, if not an old-fashioned database? How did you feed the
"non-intuitive complex patterns" emerging in this visualisation back
into the database or somewhere else? And why do you think CRM is out of
snyc with this?
Thanks
Wolfgang
