Hi Christian-Emil,

Could you provide some pointers to data that has Moves?  In our experience Move 
is theoretically important, but we could not find any museum that had Move 
activities that weren’t better described as a Transfer of Custody.

In particular:
• No history of internal movement between galleries / sites (which would not be 
a change of custody)
• No history of the actual movement of the object between institutions (e.g. 
for exhibitions), which would be better as a transfer of custody anyway.
• Disincentive to record these events or make them public as it encourages theft
• No real incentive to integrate shipping/tracking and descriptive systems

We’re very happy to move terms around, but only with good cause :) In 
particular, two institutions that both require the class and have actual data 
to support it… preferably also with the intent to publish that data.

    Before Getty(?) send out the the profile to all arts museum, maybe one 
could go through the list once more and add a few central classes, move is one 
of them.

    Hi Dan,

    If the terms were moved to an extension, for example moving Site to the 
Archaeological extension, would then they would still be available for use but 
not add to the complexity of the base model.

    I think there is some “food” they’re asking for, which is the cognitive 
cost of understanding them and when they should be used.  If that cost is high 
compared to the value (which I argue that it currently is), then the result is 
decreased usage of the model.  This “usability” cost is the primary driver for 
Linked Art – if we can do it once for the entire art domain, then every (art) 
museum or gallery has then had that cost pre-paid.

    If you have data in real systems that _require_ the classes we’ve set 
aside, we’d very much like to discuss those with you off-list.

    Hope that helps!

    Rob

        Oh no ! Please do not remove anything !


        I use almost all the CRM elements, in order not to loose nuances in my 
legacy databases (besides museum and library resources I have to model 
intangible resources - e.g. theatre productions). So I have to add elements 
from other ontologies and even – horror
         – to invent some more. I trust more the CRM elements than those I 
invent :-)


        Moreover, even if some CRM elements are not used too much, they do not 
ask for food. So...


        Please...

        PS. You can establish Oskars for the "best" class of the year, the most 
popular property of the year, etc. And the "overspecialised" ones will earn no 
Oskar.
