Having one main database has its problems. Having distributed little
databases too. For logical reasons that are too long to explain now, I
think we should have a tool to help the maintenance of both style of
managers.
But my point was to have means to talk about the current status of the
elements of the main repository. If someone did research about a game and
established that, for instance, some game is wanted, he could enter the
header, waiting the game score to be found out.
By "dubious", I meant to qualify the correcness of some game information :
header or score. That could be used if we have fair reasons to believe a
game was forged, or if we have good reasons to say that a source publishes
errors. We should ask Alexander about the correct archivistic terminology,
here. Minimally, we should be able to distinguish the games were
overchecked and those that were not. The game overchecked by the players
themselves would get the highest validation possible, theorically.
For an illustration of what I am saying, you can take almost any nationality
base, (XYZ)-base. Their author do monumental jobs. But the result is
difficult to import into a refdb, since the data gets corrected time after
time. I am having a hard time telling the Canadian manager which games are
mine, and I reappear under the many bogus names I would like to correct time
after time. I just stopped bothering after two times, but suppose I get
back at him. He needs to correct by hand. How will these corrections be
transported to CentriScid?
I don't know an answer to that. So my personal manegerial taste would be to
distribute all the information I know that they are of good quality, and
centralize some rough infos for opening study.
