Actor Appellation

Scope This field designates the entire identifying word·s, number·s, symbol·s, or code·s by which an actor (person or group) is distinguished from others, such as the name, title, or designation as it has been attributed by a contributing institution. It is an identifying agreed upon term that is descriptive or connotative. If it is made of the concatenation of numerous parts, it should include all of them (such as honorifics, titles, etc.).

Typical Case·s In Artists in Canada, the identifier (Actor ID Type) of Yousuf Karsh (Actor Appellation) is 8494 (Actor ID). Yousuf Karsh is the English spelling (Actor Appellation Language) of the Armenian-Canadian photographer’s full name (Actor Appellation Type), whereas Յուսուֆ Քարշ (Actor Appellation) is the Armenian spelling (Actor Appellation Language). Yousuf Karsh is his preferred name (Actor Appellation Precedence) by the National Gallery of Canada. Yousuf (Actor Appellation Part) is his first name (Actor Appellation Part Type) and Karsh (Actor Appellation Part) is his surname (Actor Appellation Part Type). Karsh used his full name all his professional life (Actor Appellation Use Context), which spans from 1932 (Actor Appellation Use Date Begin) CE (Actor Appellation Use Date Begin Qualifier) to 1992 (Actor Appellation Use Date End) CE (Actor Appellation Use Date End Qualifier) (Canadian Heritage, Government of Canada 2011).

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson wrote Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland under his pen name Lewis Carroll while continuing to publish work as a mathematician under his birth name. He would thus have two actor appellations: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Actor Appellation Type “Birth Name”, Actor Appellation Use Context “Customary Name”) and Lewis Carroll (Actor Appellation Type “Pen Name”, Actor Appellation Use Context “Children’s Book Writing”). He published under his pen name Lewis Carroll for the first time in March 1856 (Actor Appellation Use Date Begin) CE (Actor Appellation Use Date Begin Qualifier) when his poem Solitude appeared in The Train, and for the last time in February 1898 (Actor Appellation Use Date End) CE (Actor Appellation Use Date End Qualifier) when his book Three Sunsets and Other Poems was published (Wikipedia 2022a).

Kitwancool was painted by Emily Carr (Actor Appellation); Emily (Actor Appellation Part) is her first name (Actor Appellation Part Type) and Carr (Actor Appellation Part) is her last name (Actor Appellation Part Type).

Power Corporation of Canada, headquartered in Montreal, has an important private collection of artworks and could be considered to bear several actor appellations such as its brand name (Actor Appellation Type) Power Corp (Actor Appellation) or its legal name (Actor Appellation Type) Power Corporation of Canada (Actor Appellation). Its International Securities Identification Number is CA7392391016 (Actor ID; Actor ID Type “ISIN”) and it is traded as TSX: POW, which could have its dedicated actor appellations as well (Actor Appellation Type “Stock Symbol”) (Wikipedia 2022b; Wikimedia 2022).

Tate (Actor Appellation) is the name used by (Actor Appellation Type “Corporate Name”) the Tate institution which has other distinctive actor appellations for each of its branches (Actor Appellation “Tate”, “Tate Britain”, “Tate Modern”, “Tate Modern 1”, “Tate Modern 2”, “Tate St Ives”, and “Tate Liverpool”; Actor Appellation Type “Brand Name”) (Tate 2022).
Edge Case·s If a war artist was assigned the number M32 435 C84 (his military registration number), this number would qualify as the Actor Appellation and the Actor Appellation Type would be Military Registration Number or Military ID. If the War Museum is related to the Department of National Defence or uses the same numbers to identify artists, this number would qualify both as the Actor Appellation (the number assigned by the Department of Defence) and as the Actor ID (the same number used by the War Museum).

The French appellation of Power Corporation of Canada is Power Corporation du Canada. An institution wanting to record both these appellations could either create two Actor Appellations (one for Power Corporation of Canada indicated as English in the Actor Appellation Language node, and one for Power Corporation du Canada indicated as French in the Actor Appellation Language node) or a single, bilingual one (Power Corporation of Canada/Power Corporation du Canada).

The same applies to many governmental bodies in Canada such as PCH Canadian Heritage/Patrimoine canadien where, in addition, the question of the language of the acronym is unclear: if PCH is the Actor Appellation with the Actor Appellation Type “Acronym”, it is possible to consider this as a single, bilingual appellation.

Some institutions need to document animals as actors and although the current definition could accommodate this, the CIDOC CRM model might not. For example, Wojtek was a bear officially enlisted in the Polish army (Wikipedia 2022c).

Comment·s For appellations that are composed of parts (such as last names, first names, etc.), CHIN recommends the use of the Actor Appellation Part and Actor Appellation Part Type nodes in addition to the Actor Appellation node to document the appellation’s structure.

In some cases, unknown artists are referred to with the appellation “Unknown” or other particular identities (gender, nationality, etc.). However, the Actor Appellation node should not be used to record such information and should remain empty.

Edge Case·s Bilingual considerations could apply to actor appellations so that it would either be two Actor Appellation nodes linked to their corresponding Language node, or one Actor Appellation linked to two Language nodes.

Some text can be written in a specific dialect of a language (French-Canadian can be considered as a French dialect). Both languages and dialects are valid values; the choice between documenting either of them depends on the vocabulary that is used by an institution.

Some text can be written in non-natural languages, such as constructed languages (e.g. quenya created by J. R. R. Tolkien), formal languages (e.g. binary, mathematics, etc.), or symbolic languages (e.g. emojis), for example, an artist that would use @ID as their name. The choice of documenting non-natural languages depends on the vocabulary used by an institution, although it goes against the scope of the class E56_Language.

The language of the Actor Appellation can differ from the Actor Appellation Language (for example, the Actor Appellation can be “ᐃᓱᒪ”, yet the Actor Appellation Language can be “Inuktitut” rather than “ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ”).

Writing systems (e.g. latin, arabic, hanzi, etc.) are not documented in the Target Model Specification Specification and should not be confused with languages. If the language is difficult to identify, it is best to leave the node empty.

Typical Case·s In Artists in Canada, the identifier (Actor ID Type) of Yousuf Karsh (Actor Appellation) is 8494 (Actor ID).

Yousuf Karsh is his preferred name (Actor Appellation Precedence) by the National Gallery of Canada.

A provider might have several artefacts from a single creator and different actor appellations for said creator. For example, the Tate might indicate in its records that A View from an Apartment (2004-2005) is by Jeff Wall (Actor Appellation) and that Diagonal Composition (1993) is by Jeffrey Wall (Actor Appellation), thus creating two actor appellations for a single artist. In this case, a preferred actor appellation should be specified (e.g. Actor Appellation Precedence should be indicated as “Preferred” for Jeff Wall so that Jeffrey Wall will automatically be inferred as “Non-Preferred”).
Edge Case·s A provider might have more than two actor appellations for a single actor and might not wish to only identify its preferred appellation, but to rank both of them. For example, Actor Appellation Precedence indicated as “1” (preferred) for Jeff Wall, as “2” (non-preferred to 1 but preferred to 3) for Jeffrey Wall, and as “3” (non-preferred) for J. Wall. The model accommodates binary precedence rather than rankings. This means that no precedence should be determined based on language, such as in the case of bilingual organizational names that officially hold equivalent value. For example, the National Gallery of Canada or Musée des beaux-arts du Canada would likely not want to ascribe a precedence to either of its appellations, but it might want to ascribe precedence to both of these appellations over NGC, National Gallery, MBAC, or Musée des beaux-arts. Only two appellations (one in English and one in French) with no precedence will be ascribed in this case. This example shows that any more than two appellations poses the problem of precedence and does not indicate how the data should, ultimately, be displayed (e.g. English before French or vice-versa).

Edge Case·s A translated Actor Appellation, such as “Léonard de Vinci”, can be considered to be an Actor Appellation in its own right with the Actor Appellation Type “Name”, but it could also be considered an Actor Appellation Type “Exonym” because this Actor Appellation is only used in the French Language. This begs the question of whether there can be more than one Actor Appellation Type for a single Actor Appellation (e.g. “Exonym” and “Name”) and how the providing institution represents this when contributing its data.

Comment·s This field qualifies the Actor Appellation and relates to an Actor Appellation so that there cannot be an Actor Appellation Type without an Actor Appellation.

It is difficult to determine the limits of an appellation (e.g. is the birth name of a married woman a distinct Actor Appellation?) so that the content of this field will heavily rely on what the provider of the data considers to be an Actor Appellation. For example, Anne of Green Gables’ birth name would be Anne Shirley, and she became Anne Blythe by marrying Gilbert Blythe. A museum might enter Anne Shirley as her Actor Appellation, and another might consider Anne Shirley Blythe as her Actor Appellation, with Anne being the first name, Shirley the maiden name, and Blythe the married name. Once again, the institution’s authority would be respected here.

For marginalized communities where individuals have often been ascribed names that they do not consider their own, it seems preferable to link the actor (E39_Actor) to the name use activity (F52_Name_Use_Activity) to indicate that the name is imposed on the person. Some imposed names could be accounted for here (such as when the Actor Appellation is a slave name), but there is no way to account for the correct name nor to give precedence to the person’s preferred name because CHIN is non-authoritative. For example, “Malcolm Little” could be typified as a slave name and “Malcolm X” as a given name.

Edge Case·s When it comes to actor appellations that are mostly attributable to relationships (such as nicknames), the Actor Appellation Use Date Begin depends on when the related actor started using the Actor Appellation. It is still unclear if the information recorded would be from the earliest use by anyone to the latest use by anyone (e.g. the first person who used “W” to refer to George W. Bush, and the last person that did/will do so) or from the earliest use by a specific actor and the latest use by a specific actor (e.g. the first time John Dickerson used “W” and the last time he uses it).

Numerical entering of dates might be misleading. For example, 06-12-45 might refer to June 12th, 1845 just as much as December 6th, 1945.

Edge Case·s The interpretation of the “Before” and “After” qualifiers can serve to determine the exact boundaries of the time-span of an event. For example, if an event was said to occur before 1950, it would be possible to deduce its time-span to be between the birth of its participant and the year 1950, given that the birth dates are certain. Ideally, whenever the semantics of date qualifiers allow the inference of a time-span with certainty, it would be better to use a time-span with the Date Begin and Date End nodes and not to add statements with the literal qualifiers. However, such reasoning would require caution during the mapping process as a data provider can also have internal data entry rules concerning the assignment of such qualifiers, but it might not be included with the data itself, thus causing misinterpretation.

Comment·s There can be more than one qualifier at once for a single Date Begin (e.g. “BCE” and “BC” which is the same information, the former being qualified using the non-Christian acronym “Before Common Era” and the latter using the Christian acronym “Before Christ”).

Some important dates in history have alternative names that could be considered as appellations of more general periods, such as 9/11, Victory in Europe Day, D-Day, etc. These appellations are not currently managed in the model and should be treated following the Messy Data pattern.

The use of certain qualifiers like “Before” and “After” are allowed, but if possible, CHIN recommends to use only the entry nodes Date Begin and Date End. For example, if an event took place before 1945, it would be possible to indicate the value “1944-12-31T23:59:59” for the Date End entry node of this event. In this scenario, the Date Begin entry node would remain empty.

Edge Case·s SAMO is a graffiti tag that was used in New York from 1977 to 1980, primarily by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Al Diaz. It could be considered an Actor Appellation (Actor Appellation Type “Pseudonym”); if so, the dates would not be problematic (Actor Appellation Use Date End “1980-12-31T23:59:59”). However, it could also be considered an artefact (as SAMO was graffitied across the city), thus possibly used by multiple actors (Artefact Appellation) (Wikipedia 2021a). This begs the question of whether an appellation use date has an end when people continue to use the appellation well after the actor’s death. There could be, in this case, an Artefact Appellation and an Actor Appellation of the same name, but the way to handle the dates for each would have to be clarified.

Numerical entering of dates might be misleading. For example, 06-12-45 might refer to June 12th, 1845 just as much as December 6th, 1945.

Artefact Appellation

Scope This field designates the entire identifying word·s, number·s, symbol·s, or code·s by which an object is distinguished from others, such as its common noun, title, or designation as it has been attributed by a contributing institution. It is an identifying agreed upon term that is descriptive or connotative.

Typical Case·s Yousuf Karsh’s Self-Portrait (Artefact Appellation) is titled (Artefact Appellation Type “Title”) in English (Artefact Appellation Language) and this title is the main one used to refer to the artefact (Artefact Appellation Precedence “Preferred”). It is also sometimes titled Self Portret (Artefact Appellation; Artefact Appellation Type “Title”), but this appellation is not preferred (Artefact Appellation Precedence “Non-Preferred”). The reproduction’s Library and Archives Canada identification number (Artefact ID Type “Identification Number”) is PA-212511 (Artefact ID) (Karsh 1938).

Flightstop (Artefact Appellation; Artefact Appellation Language “English”; Artefact Appellation Type “Title”; Artefact Appellation Precedence “Preferred”) is a sculpture by artist Michael Snow, sometimes titled Flight Stop (Artefact Appellation; Artefact Appellation Language “English”; Artefact Appellation Type “Title”; Artefact Appellation Precedence “Non-Preferred”) (Law 2011; Snow 1979; Wikipedia 2021b).

John William Waterhouse’s “I am half sick of shadows, said The Lady of Shalott” (Alfred, Lord Tennyson, The Lady of Shalott, Part II) is a 1915 painting in the Art Gallery of Ontario’s collection with the object number 71/18 (Artefact ID) assigned by the contributor (Artefact ID Type “AGO_ID”) (Waterhouse 1915; Wikimedia 2018).

Canadissimo (Artefact Appellation) was made by art collective BGL and presented at the Canada Pavilion of the Venice Biennale (Production Place) in 2015 (Production Date Begin; Production Date Begin Qualifier “or before”; Production Date End; Production Date End Qualifier “or before”). BGL is comprised of Jasmin Bilodeau (Production Actor Role “Creator”; Production Actor Priority “1”), Sébastien Giguère (Production Actor Role “Creator”; Production Actor Priority “1”), and Nicolas Laverdière (Production Actor Role “Creator”; Production Actor Priority “1”) (Wikipedia 2022d).
Edge Case·s How to distinguish works that are titled Untitled from those that are not titled might be problematic when ingesting the data. Conversely, it would be difficult to distinguish an object for which there is no title from an object for which we do not have the title.

Marie-Guillemine Benoist’s Portrait of Madeleine (Artefact Appellation; Artefact Appellation Precedence “Preferred”) was formerly titled using a racial description. Recent scholarship has established the sitter’s name as “Madeleine”, although her last name remains unknown. An annotation indicating “former title displaying insensitive racial language” could be placed on its appellations, with the former title being indicated as a non-preferred appellation (Artefact Appellation Precedence “Non-Preferred”), but a Curatorial Note Content (“Sitter in Portrait of Madeleine, former title displaying insensitive racial language with the sitter identified as being named “Madeleine” by Viktoria Schmidt-Linsenhoff”) might also be used on the actor “Madeleine” who is depicted. The same Curatorial Note Content could also be applied to Marie-Guillemine Benoist. Whether the Curatorial Note Content is related to the artist, the person depicted or both depends on the provider’s wording (Schmidt-Linsenhoff 2013; Waller 2018).

Some text can be written in a specific dialect of a language (French-Canadian can be considered as a French dialect). Both languages and dialects are valid values, the choice between documenting either of them depends on the vocabulary that is used by an institution.

Some text can be written in non-natural languages, such as constructed languages (e.g. quenya created by J. R. R. Tolkien), formal languages (e.g. binary, mathematics, etc.), or symbolic languages (e.g. emojis), for example, an object would be assigned @ID as its title. The choice of documenting non-natural languages depends on the vocabulary that is used by an institution, although it goes against the scope of the class E56_Language.

Typical Case·s The English-language (Biography Language) biography of Yousuf Karsh on Wikipedia (Wikipedia 2021c) is as follows: “Yousuf Karsh CC (December 23, 1908 – July 13, 2002) was an Armenian-Canadian photographer known for his portraits of notable individuals. He has been described as one of the greatest portrait photographers of the 20th century. An Armenian genocide survivor, Karsh migrated to Canada as a refugee. By the 1930s he established himself as a significant photographer in Ottawa, where he lived most of his adult life, though he travelled extensively for work. His iconic 1941 photograph of Winston Churchill was a breakthrough point in his 60-year career, through which he took numerous photos of known political leaders, men and women of arts and sciences. Over 20 photos by Karsh appeared on the cover of Life magazine, until he retired in 1992.” (Biography Content). It quotes the following works: Berman, Eliza. “Yousuf Karsh’s Masterful Portraits From Churchill to Hepburn.” Time. March 18, 2015 (Biography Bibliographical Mention); Thurber, Jon. “Yousuf Karsh, 93; Photographs Captured Face of 20th Century.” Los Angeles Times. July 14, 2002 (Biography Bibliographical Mention).

The English-language (Biography Language) biography of the Canadian Group of Painters by the Art Canada Institute (Art Canada Institute n.d.) is as follows: “Founded in 1933 after the disbanding of the Group of Seven by former members and their associates, the Canadian Group of Painters championed modernist painting styles against the entrenched traditionalism of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. It provided a platform for artists across Canada who were pursuing a variety of new concerns, from the formal experimentation of Bertram Brooker to the modern-figure subjects of Prudence Heward and Pegi Nicol MacLeod and the expressive landscapes of Emily Carr.” (Biography Content).

Typical Case·s The English-language (Biography Language) biography of Yousuf Karsh on Wikipedia (Wikipedia 2021c) is as follows: “Yousuf Karsh CC (December 23, 1908 – July 13, 2002) was an Armenian-Canadian photographer known for his portraits of notable individuals. He has been described as one of the greatest portrait photographers of the 20th century. An Armenian genocide survivor, Karsh migrated to Canada as a refugee. By the 1930s he established himself as a significant photographer in Ottawa, where he lived most of his adult life, though he travelled extensively for work. His iconic 1941 photograph of Winston Churchill was a breakthrough point in his 60-year career, through which he took numerous photos of known political leaders, men and women of arts and sciences. Over 20 photos by Karsh appeared on the cover of Life magazine, until he retired in 1992.” (Biography Content). It quotes the following works: Berman, Eliza. “Yousuf Karsh’s Masterful Portraits From Churchill to Hepburn.” Time. March 18, 2015 (Biography Bibliographical Mention); Thurber, Jon. “Yousuf Karsh, 93; Photographs Captured Face of 20th Century.” Los Angeles Times. July 14, 2002 (Biography Bibliographical Mention).

The English-language (Biography Language) biography of the Canadian Group of Painters by the Art Canada Institute (Art Canada Institute n.d.) is as follows: “Founded in 1933 after the disbanding of the Group of Seven by former members and their associates, the Canadian Group of Painters championed modernist painting styles against the entrenched traditionalism of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. It provided a platform for artists across Canada who were pursuing a variety of new concerns, from the formal experimentation of Bertram Brooker to the modern-figure subjects of Prudence Heward and Pegi Nicol MacLeod and the expressive landscapes of Emily Carr.” (Biography Content).
Edge Case·s Bilingual considerations could apply to biography contents as well so that it would either be two Biography Content nodes with the corresponding Language node for each, or one Biography Content node with two Language nodes.

Some text can be written in a specific dialect of a language (French-Canadian can be considered as a French dialect). Both languages and dialects are valid values, and the choice between documenting either of them depends on the vocabulary that is used by the institution.

Some text can be written in non-natural languages, such as constructed languages (e.g. quenya created by J. R. R. Tolkien), formal languages (e.g. binary, mathematics, etc.), or symbolic languages (e.g. emojis), for example, an artist that would use @ID as their name.

Edge Case·s The interpretation of the “Before” and “After” qualifiers can serve to determine the exact boundaries of the time-span of an event. For example, if an event was said to occur before 1950, it would be possible to deduce its time-span to be between the birth of its participant and the year 1950, given that the birth dates are certain. Ideally, whenever the semantics of date qualifiers allow the inference of a time-span with certainty, it would be better to use a time-span with the Date Begin and Date End nodes and not to add statements with the literal qualifiers. However, such reasoning would require caution during the mapping process as a data provider can also have internal data entry rules concerning the assignment of such qualifiers, but it might not be included with the data itself, thus causing misinterpretation.

Comment·s There can be more than one qualifier at once for a single Date Begin (e.g. “BCE” and “BC” which is the same information, the former being qualified using the non-Christian acronym “Before Common Era” and the latter using the Christian acronym “Before Christ”).

Some important dates in history have alternative names that could be considered as appellations of more general periods, such as 9/11, Victory in Europe Day, D-Day, etc. These appellations are not currently managed in the model and should be treated following the Messy Data pattern.

The use of certain qualifiers like “Before” and “After” are allowed, but if possible, CHIN recommends the use of only the entry nodes Date Begin and Date End. For example, if an event took place before 1945, it would be possible to indicate the value “1944-12-31T23:59:59” for the Date End entry node of this event. In this scenario, the Date Begin entry node would remain empty.

An Annotation could be placed on its Artefact Appellations (with “Portrait of Madeleine” as the preferred appellation (Artefact Appellation Precedence), “Former title displaying insensitive racial language” Annotation; the former title as a non-preferred appellation (Artefact Appellation Precedence), “Now titled Portrait of Madeleine” Annotation; “Portrait d’une femme noire”, non-preferred appellation (Artefact Appellation Precedence), “Former title displaying insensitive racial language” Annotation), but a Curatorial Note Content might also be used on the Actor “Madeleine” who is depicted (“Sitter in Portrait of Madeleine, former title displaying insensitive racial language with the sitter identified as being named “Madeleine” by Viktoria Schmidt-Linsenhoff”). The same Curatorial Note Content could also be applied to Marie-Guillemine Benoist. Whether the Curatorial Note Content is related to the artist, the person depicted, or both, depends on the provider’s wording (Schmidt-Linsenhoff 2013; Waller 2018).

Curatorial Note Author Appellation

Scope This field designates the entire identifying word·s, number·s, symbol·s, or code·s by which the actor (person or group) responsible for the intellectual content and general composition of the Curatorial Note Content, whether it was originally intended for publication or not, is distinguished from others, such as the name, title, or designation as it has been attributed by a contributing institution. It is an identifying agreed upon term that is descriptive or connotative. If it is made of the concatenation of numerous parts, it should include all of them (such as honorifics, titles, etc.).

Comment·s Bilingually named entities (such as the National Gallery of Canada/Musée des beaux-arts du Canada) could either be recorded as two appellations (National Gallery of Canada and Musée des beaux-arts du Canada) or as one, bilingual appellation (National Gallery of Canada/Musée des beaux-arts du Canada).

For appellations that are composed of parts (such as last names, first names, etc.), CHIN recommends the use of the Actor Appellation Part and Actor Appellation Part Type nodes in addition to the Actor Appellation node to document the appellation’s structure.

In some cases, unknown artists are referred to with the appellation “Unknown” or other particular identities (gender, nationality, etc.). However, the Curatorial Note Author Appellation node should not be used to record such information and should remain empty.

This entry node must be used exclusively in the context of the Curatorial Note pattern. If the actor whose appellation is documented using this node is also an actor of interest in any other context of the dataset, their appellation must be documented accordingly using the Actor Appellation entry node.

For example, in the recording of a curatorial note 123, the appellation of the author who wrote the curatorial note (person ABC) must be registered using the Curatorial Note Author Appellation entry node. However, if person ABC is also an actor of interest elsewhere in the dataset, their appellation·s must also be recorded using the Actor Appellation entry node.

Typical Case·s The note “Rebecca Belmore was the first Indigenous woman to present at the Canadian pavilion of the Venice Biennale in 2005” (Curatorial Note Content) is written in English (Curatorial Note Language) (Berlin and Baird 2014).
Edge Case·s Bilingual considerations could apply to curatorial note contents as well so that it would either be two Curatorial Note Content nodes with the corresponding Language node for each, or one Curatorial Note Content node with two Language nodes.

Some text can be written in a specific dialect of a language (French-Canadian can be considered as a French dialect). Both languages and dialects are valid values, the choice between documenting either of them depends on the vocabulary that is used by an institution.

Some text can be written in non-natural languages, such as constructed languages (e.g. quenya created by J. R. R. Tolkien), formal languages (e.g. binary, mathematics, etc.), or symbolic languages (e.g. emojis), for example, an artist that would use @ID as their name. The choice of documenting non-natural languages depends on the vocabulary that is used by an institution, although it goes against the scope of the class E56_Language.

The second option helps simplify the named graph management by reducing the number of named graphs.

As another example, in a context where a museum offers a crowdsourcing platform to enrich its content and an independent expert contributes to a record, the data provider could include the provenance of this information in the Record Provenance pattern, but could also prefer that external data be managed in a different named graph. As such, there could be a named graph that only represents the information submitted by the external expert.

Museums can be considered actors just as much as dataset creation participants so that where to apply annotations and curatorial notes might be tricky in specific cases such as changes that were brought to the name (e.g. Ingenium). For example, if Ingenium provided datasets prior to 2018 under their previous Appellation Canada Science and Technology Museum Corporation and are now providing under Ingenium, CHIN will have to determine which Dataset Creation Participant Appellation to use for a single ID, whether to have two Dataset Creation Participant Appellations (each linked to a Dataset Provider ID) or when to use which Dataset Provider Appellation with the single Dataset Provider ID, as well as how to display that information.

For example, if an event was said to occur before 1950, it would be possible to deduce its time-span to be between the birth of its participant and the year 1950, given that the birth dates are certain. Ideally, whenever the semantics of date qualifiers allow the inference of a time-span with certainty, it would be better to use a time-span with the Date Begin and Date End nodes and not to add statements with the literal qualifiers. However, such reasoning would require caution during the mapping process as a data provider can also have internal data entry rules concerning the assignment of such qualifiers, but it might not be included with the data itself, thus causing misinterpretation.

Some important dates in history have alternative names that could be considered as appellations of more general periods, such as 9/11, Victory in Europe Day, D-Day, etc. These appellations are not currently managed in the model and should be treated following the Messy Data pattern.

The use of certain qualifiers like “Before” and “After” are allowed, but if possible, CHIN recommends the use of only the entry nodes Date Begin and Date End. For example, if an event took place before 1945, it would be possible to indicate the value “1944-12-31T23:59:59” for the Date End entry node of this event. In this scenario, the Date Begin entry node would remain empty.

Edge Case·s Maud Kathleen Lewis was born in her South Ohio, NS (Birth Place) childhood home to John Dowley (Father Appellation) and Agnes Dowley (Mother Appellation) (Art Gallery of Nova Scotia n.d.). In addition to documenting the municipality where she was born, an institution might want to record that “she was born in her childhood home”. The latter could be considered a Curatorial Note about Maud Kathleen Lewis. The same would apply to the death of a person happening in their childhood home.

The Unknown Soldier (Actor Appellation) died in France as a soldier during the First World War. Their death occurred between the 3rd of October, 1914 (when the first Canadian contingent sailed for Europe) and the 11th of November, 1918 (when Canadians’ direct involvement in the fight ended), though the war ended officially with the Treaty of Versailles on the 28th of June, 1919. They were buried at the Cabaret-Rouge War Cemetery near Vimy (France) before their remains were moved in a commemorative sarcophagus in Ottawa (ON, Canada). In the DOPHEDA model, their move from their place of death to their burial place would not represent their passage in Cabaret-Rouge and only indicate a move from France (where they died between 1914 and 1918) to Canada in 2000 (Foot 2018).

Ramses II died around 1213 BCE according to Egyptian chronology (Hornung et al. 2006, 476-478). His body was embalmed and deposited in tomb KV7 in the Valley of Kings (modern-day Egypt), but was soon moved and transferred into other tombs by Egyptian priests to protect it from looting. The body was finally uncovered in tomb TT320 in 1881 (Wikipedia 2021d). In this example, the mummy transferred, or at least discovered by archæologists, should not be considered a person (E21_Person) but rather a biological object (E20_Biological_Object) which can be moved. At the moment, this kind of transformation cannot be documented with this entry node.

It was dissolved in 1969 (Dissolution Date Begin; Dissolution Date End) CE (Dissolution Date Begin Qualifier; Dissolution Date End Qualifier) at an unknown place by an unknown actor (Toronto Public Library 2016).

The Conservatory String Quartet (Actor Appellation) was founded by Elie Spivak (Founding Actor Appellation) in 1929 (Formation Date Begin; Formation Date End) CE (Formation Date Begin Qualifier; Formation Date End Qualifier) in Toronto (ON, Canada) (Formation Place). The quartet was dissolved in 1946 (Dissolution Date Begin; Dissolution Date End) CE (Dissolution Date Begin Qualifier; Dissolution Date End Qualifier) in Ontario (Canada) (Dissolution Place) due to severe illnesses affecting the remaining members of the group (McGregor 2013).
Edge Case·s The interpretation of the “Before” and “After” qualifiers can serve to determine the exact boundaries of the time-span of an event. For example, if an event was said to occur before 1950, it would be possible to deduce its time-span to be between the birth of its participant and the year 1950, given that the birth dates are certain. Ideally, whenever the semantics of date qualifiers allow the inference of a time-span with certainty, it would be better to use a time-span with the Date Begin and Date End nodes and not to add statements with the literal qualifiers. However, such reasoning would require caution during the mapping process as a data provider can also have internal data entry rules concerning the assignment of such qualifiers, but it might not be included with the data itself, thus causing misinterpretation.

Comment·s There can be more than one qualifier at once for a single Date End (e.g. “BCE” and “BC” which is the same information, the former being qualified using the non-Christian acronym “Before Common Era” and the latter using the Christian acronym “Before Christ”).

Some important dates in history have alternative names that could be considered as appellations of more general periods, such as 9/11, Victory in Europe Day, D-Day, etc. These appellations are not currently managed in the model and should be treated following the Messy Data pattern.

The use of certain qualifiers like “Before” and “After” are allowed, but if possible, CHIN recommends the use of only the entry nodes Date Begin and Date End. For example, if an event took place before 1945, it would be possible to indicate the value “1944-12-31T23:59:59” for the Date End entry node of this event.

Typical Case·s Atari (Actor Appellation) was founded on June 27, 1972 (Formation Date Begin; Formation Date End) CE (Formation Date Begin Qualifier; Formation Date End Qualifier) by Nolan Bushnell (Founding Actor Appellation) and Ted Dabney (Founding Actor Appellation) in California (United States) (Formation Place). James M.

Edge Case·s A group might not have a single Dissolution Place as its members can consider themselves part of a collective without sharing a common space.

When an event takes place online or in a virtual universe, it could become difficult to determine its physical location. For example, an artist might found a purely online group from a computer in Winnipeg (MB, Canada) yet use a gathering platform accessible on a web server that could also be considered as the location of the formation of the group. The location of each member can similarly be problematic (e.g. each participating player’s physical location in an online game).

Edge Case·s If a war artist was assigned the number M32 435 C84 (his military registration number), this number would qualify as an Actor Appellation and the Actor Appellation Type would be “Military Registration Number” or “Military ID”. If the War Museum is related to the Department of National Defence or uses these numbers to identify artists, this number would qualify both as an Actor Appellation (the number assigned by the Department of Defence) and as an Actor ID (the same number used by the War Museum).

The French appellation of Power Corporation of Canada is Power Corporation du Canada. An institution wanting to record both these appellations could either create two Actor Appellations (one for Power Corporation of Canada indicated as English in the Actor Appellation Language node, and one for Power Corporation du Canada indicated as French in the Actor Appellation Language node) or a single, bilingual one (Power Corporation of Canada/Power Corporation du Canada).

The same applies to many governmental bodies in Canada such as PCH Canadian Heritage/Patrimoine canadien where, in addition, the question of the language of the acronym is unclear: if PCH is the Actor Appellation with an Actor Appellation Type labelled “Acronym”, it is possible to consider this as a single, bilingual appellation.

For appellations that are composed of parts (such as last names, first names, etc.), CHIN recommends the use of the Actor Appellation Part nodes and the Actor Appellation Part Type nodes in addition to the Actor Appellation node to document the appellation’s structure.

In some cases, unknown artists are referred to with the appellation “Unknown” or other particular identities (gender, nationality, etc.). However, the Dissolving Actor Appellation node should not be used to record such information and should remain empty.

This entry node must be used exclusively in the context of the Formation and Dissolution of a Group pattern. If the actor whose appellation is documented using this node is also an actor of interest in any other context of the dataset, their appellation must be documented accordingly using the Actor Appellation entry node.

For example, in the recording of the dissolution of a group 123, the appellation of the person that was responsible for it (person ABC) must be registered using the Dissolving Actor Appellation entry node. However, if person ABC is also an actor of interest elsewhere in the dataset, their appellation·s must also be recorded using the Actor Appellation entry node.

Edge Case·s The scope of the class E74_Group dictates that a family is a gathering of individuals that can act collectively (Bekiari et al. 2021, 44-45). However, other groups, either formal or informal, could be considered as comparable to a family (e.g. when individuals raise a child that is not formally adopted, or a group of very close friends). Whether or not such groups should be documented using the Family Belonging pattern or the Group Belonging pattern is determined by the cataloguer or data expert as the distinction between these two patterns can be blurry.

If a war artist was assigned the number M32 435 C84 (his military registration number), this number would qualify as an Actor Appellation and the Actor Appellation Type would be “Military Registration Number” or “Military ID”. If the War Museum is related to the Department of National Defence or uses these numbers to identify artists, this number would qualify both as an Actor Appellation (the number assigned by the Department of Defence) and as an Actor ID (the same number used by the War Museum).

Comment·s A biological father is understood to be the male genetic contributor to the creation of the infant through sexual intercourse or sperm donation.

For appellations that are composed of parts (such as last names, first names, etc.), CHIN recommends the use of the Actor Appellation Part nodes and the Actor Appellation Part Type nodes in addition to the Actor Appellation node to document the appellation’s structure.

In some cases, unknown artists are referred to with the appellation “Unknown” or other particular identities (gender, nationality, etc.). However, the Father Appellation node should not be used to record such information and should remain empty.

This entry node must be used exclusively in the context of the Birth and Death of a Person pattern. If the actor whose appellation is documented using this node is also an actor of interest in any other context of the dataset, their appellation must be documented accordingly using the Actor Appellation entry node.

For example, in the recording of the birth of a person 123, the appellation of the father (person ABC) must be registered using the Father Appellation entry node. However, if person ABC is also an actor of interest elsewhere in the dataset, their appellation·s must also be recorded using the Actor Appellation entry node.

Typical Case·s Tom Thomson’s artistic peak is considered to have occurred in Canada (Flourishing Place) and have run from March 1916 (Flourishing Date Begin) CE (Flourishing Date Begin Qualifier) until his death on July 8, 1917 (Flourishing Date End) CE (Flourishing Date End Qualifier). During this period, Thomson mostly painted the Ontario landscape as he travelled across the province (Silcox 2015, 16).

Cyril Henry Barraud, an English painter who participated in World War I as a war artist for the Canadian army, is considered by Artists in Canada to have flourished between 1913 (Flourishing Date Begin) and 1915 (Flourishing Date End) CE (Flourishing Date Begin Qualifier; Flourishing Date End Qualifier) in Ontario, Canada (Flourishing Place) (Canadian Heritage, Government of Canada 2021).

Yousuf Karsh is considered to have been one of the most important photographers during the peak of photojournalism in the 1940s (Flourishing Date Begin “1940-01-01T00:00:00”) and 1950s (Flourishing Date End “1959-12-31T23:59:59”), working with such magazines as Life (Allen 2014).
Edge Case·s There are three main cases where there could be more than a single flourishing for an artist: flourishing in different fields, in different mediums, and in a single field and medium interspersed by calmer periods of production. For example, Marc Séguin has had success both in visual, literary, and cinematographic endeavours. How would each of these flourishings be represented is unclear. Jean Paul Riopelle’s sculptural flourishing would be considered different from his painting flourishing. Finally, an artist could have more than one important flourishing in a single domain with a long period of inactivity in between. For example, Harper Lee was widely recognized as an accomplished author after the publication of To Kill a Mockingbird, but published very little for a long period of time before writing its sequel Go Set a Watchman (Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica 2021). This could either be considered to be a long period of flourishing spanning the majority of her career as a writer, or two related flourishing periods apart.

Typical Case·s Tom Thomson’s artistic peak is considered to run from March 1916 (Flourishing Date Begin) CE (Flourishing Date Begin Qualifier) until his death on July 8, 1917 (Flourishing Date End) CE (Flourishing Date End Qualifier). During this period, Thomson mostly painted the Ontario (Flourishing Place) landscape as he travelled across the province (Silcox 2015, 16).

Cyril Henry Barraud, an English painter who participated in World War I as a war artist for the Canadian army, is considered by Artists in Canada to have flourished between 1913 (Flourishing Date Begin) and 1915 (Flourishing Date End) CE (Flourishing Date Begin Qualifier; Flourishing Date End Qualifier) in Ontario, Canada (Flourishing Place) (Canadian Heritage, Government of Canada 2021).

Yousuf Karsh is considered to have been one of the most important photographers during the peak of photojournalism in the 1940s (Flourishing Date Begin “1940-01-01T00:00:00”) and 1950s (Flourishing Date End “1959-12-31T23:59:59”), working with such magazines as Life and other venues (Allen 2014).
Edge Case·s There are three main cases where there could be more than a single flourishing for an artist: flourishing in different fields, in different mediums, and in a single field and medium interspersed by calmer periods of production. For example, Marc Séguin has had success both in visual, literary, and cinematographic endeavours. How would each of these flourishings be represented is unclear. Jean Paul Riopelle’s sculptural flourishing would be considered different from his painting flourishing. Finally, an artist could have more than one important flourishing in a single domain with a long period of inactivity in between. For example, Harper Lee was widely recognized as an accomplished author after the publication of To Kill a Mockingbird, but published very little for a long period of time before writing its sequel Go Set a Watchman (Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica 2021). This could either be considered to be a long period of flourishing spanning the majority of her career as a writer, or two related flourishing periods apart.

Numerical entering of dates might be misleading. For example, 06-12-45 might refer to June 12th, 1845 just as much as December 6th, 1945.

The interpretation of the “Before” and “After” qualifiers can serve to determine the exact boundaries of the time-span of an event. For example, if an event was said to occur before 1950, it would be possible to deduce its time-span to be between the birth of its participant and the year 1950, given that the birth dates are certain. Ideally, whenever the semantics of date qualifiers allow the inference of a time-span with certainty, it would be better to use a time-span with the Date Begin and Date End nodes and not to add statements with the literal qualifiers. However, such reasoning would require caution during the mapping process as a data provider can also have internal data entry rules concerning the assignment of such qualifiers, but it might not be included with the data itself, thus causing misinterpretation.

The use of certain qualifiers like “Before” and “After” are allowed, but if possible, CHIN recommends the use of only the entry nodes Date Begin and Date End. For example, if an event took place before 1945, it would be possible to indicate the value “1944-12-31T23:59:59” for the Date End entry node of this event.

Edge Case·s When an event takes place online or in a virtual universe, it can become difficult to determine its physical location.

In this context, how to treat the group remains unclear.

The interpretation of the “Before” and “After” qualifiers can serve to determine the exact boundaries of the time-span of an event. For example, if an event was said to occur before 1950, it would be possible to deduce its time-span to be between the birth of its participant and the year 1950, given that the birth dates are certain. Ideally, whenever the semantics of date qualifiers allow the inference of a time-span with certainty, it would be better to use a time-span with the Date Begin and Date End nodes and not to add statements with the literal qualifiers. However, such reasoning would require caution during the mapping process as a data provider can also have internal data entry rules concerning the assignment of such qualifiers, but it might not be included with the data itself, thus causing misinterpretation.

Comment·s There can be more than one qualifier at once for a single Date End (e.g. “BCE” and “BC” which is the same information, the former being qualified using the non-Christian acronym “Before Common Era” and the latter using the Christian acronym “Before Christ”).

Some important dates in history have alternative names that could be considered as appellations of more general periods, such as 9/11, Victory in Europe Day, D-Day, etc. These appellations are not currently managed in the model and should be treated following the Messy Data pattern.

The use of certain qualifiers like “Before” and “After” are allowed, but if possible, CHIN recommends the use of only the entry nodes Date Begin and Date End. For example, if an event took place before 1945, it would be possible to indicate the value “1944-12-31T23:59:59” for the Date End entry node of this event.

Typical Case·s Atari (Actor Appellation) was founded on June 27, 1972 (Formation Date Begin; Formation Date End) CE (Formation Date Begin Qualifier; Formation Date End Qualifier) by Nolan Bushnell (Founding Actor Appellation) and Ted Dabney (Founding Actor Appellation) in California (United States) (Formation Place). James M. Morgan (Dissolving Actor Appellation) was the CEO of Atari from 1983 until its dissolution on July 3, 1984 (Dissolution Date Begin; Dissolution Date End) CE (Dissolution Date Begin Qualifier; Dissolution Date End Qualifier) in California (United States) (Dissolution Place) (Wikipedia 2022f).

The Canadian Group of Painters (Actor Appellation) was formed in Toronto (ON, Canada) (Formation Place) in 1933 (Formation Date Begin; Formation Date End) circa (Formation Date Begin Qualifier; Formation Date End Qualifier) by 28 canadian artists, among which A. J. Casson (Founding Actor Appellation) (depicted alone in the following example for simplicity purposes). It was dissolved in 1969 (Dissolution Date Begin; Dissolution Date End) CE (Dissolution Date Begin Qualifier; Dissolution Date End Qualifier) at an unknown place by an unknown actor (Toronto Public Library 2016).

The Conservatory String Quartet (Actor Appellation) was founded by Elie Spivak (Founding Actor Appellation) in 1929 (Formation Date Begin; Formation Date End) CE (Formation Date Begin Qualifier; Formation Date End Qualifier) in Toronto (ON, Canada) (Formation Place). The quartet was dissolved in 1946 (Dissolution Date Begin; Dissolution Date End) CE (Dissolution Date Begin Qualifier; Dissolution Date End Qualifier) in Ontario (Canada) (Dissolution Place) due to severe illnesses affecting the remaining members of the group (McGregor 2013).
Edge Case·s A group might not have a single Formation Place as its members can consider themselves part of a collective without sharing a common space.

When an event takes place online or in a virtual universe, it could become difficult to determine its physical location. For example, an artist might found a purely online group from a computer in Winnipeg (MB, Canada) yet use a gathering platform accessible on a web server that could also be considered as the location of the formation of the group. The location of each member can similarly be problematic (e.g. each participating player’s physical location in an online game).

In 2008, Yousuf Karsh’s wife, Estrellita Karsh, endowed the Estrellita and Yousuf Karsh Assistant Curator of Photographs position at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (MA, United States). The curators that endorsed that position formed a group by the name “Estrellita and Yousuf Karsh Assistant Curator of Photographs”, which is also an occupation they have all held (using the Occupation pattern would be possible, but the group would never be “created”). The endowment is ongoing and, as such, the group remains active (Estate of Yousuf Karsh 2021). Yet, an important question remains: can the members of the group (i.e. the curators) act collectively (thus qualifying as a group) even if only one of them endorses the title at once? In this context, how to treat the group remains unclear.

Edge Case·s If a war artist was assigned the number M32 435 C84 (his military registration number), this number would qualify as an Actor Appellation and the Actor Appellation Type would be “Military Registration Number” or “Military ID”. If the War Museum is related to the Department of National Defence or uses these numbers to identify artists, this number would qualify both as an Actor Appellation (the number assigned by the Department of Defence) and as an Actor ID (the same number used by the War Museum).

The French appellation of Power Corporation of Canada is Power Corporation du Canada. An institution wanting to record both these appellations could either create two Actor Appellations (one for Power Corporation of Canada indicated as English in the Actor Appellation Language node, and one for Power Corporation du Canada indicated as French in the Actor Appellation Language node) or a single, bilingual one (Power Corporation of Canada/Power Corporation du Canada).

The same applies to many governmental bodies in Canada such as PCH Canadian Heritage/Patrimoine canadien where, in addition, the question of the language of the acronym is unclear: if PCH is the Actor Appellation with an Actor Appellation Type labelled “Acronym”, it is possible to consider this as a single, bilingual appellation.

Edge Case·s The recipient of an award might be considered as part of a group that includes all of the recipients of this specific award, although it is not a formal group. In such a case, the founder of the group might be considered to be the first recipient just as much as the granting organism. For example, the Governor General’s Literary Awards were conceived and inaugurated in 1937 by John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir who was then acting as 15th Governor General of Canada. He awarded the award for Fiction to Laura G. Salverson for The Dark Weaver, for Poetry of drama to E. J. Pratt for The Fable of the Goats, and for Non-fiction to Stephen Leacock for My Discovery of the West (Canada Council for the Arts n.d.). Considering the group would be the “Recipients of the Governor General of Canada Literary Awards”, the original founder·s could either be solely John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir, or the first recipients, arguing they played a concrete role in the foundation of the group.

Comment·s A group is considered to be one or more people who·se work share·s similar characteristics sufficient to invest them with a sense of unity, common endeavour/objective, and/or consolidating relationship. Certain groups consist of solely one member, such as in the case of companies of small sizes (e.g. the company of a self-employed person). Official positions can be regarded in certain contexts as one actor and therefore documented as a group, independent of the current holder of the office, such as the president of a country. The person in charge of this position would then be the sole member of this group. It could be possible, if the sole member of a group dies for instance, that a group would be without members.

Bilingually named entities (such as the National Gallery of Canada/Musée des beaux-arts du Canada) could either be recorded as two appellations (National Gallery of Canada and Musée des beaux-arts du Canada) or as one, bilingual appellation (National Gallery of Canada/Musée des beaux-arts du Canada).

The interpretation of the “Before” and “After” qualifiers can serve to determine the exact boundaries of the time-span of an event. For example, if an event was said to occur “before 1950”, it would be possible to deduce its time-span to be between the birth of its participant and the year 1950, given that the birth dates data are certain. Ideally, whenever the semantics of date qualifiers allow the inference of a time-span with certainty, it would be better to use a time-span with the Date Begin and Date End nodes and not to add statements with the literal qualifiers. However, such reasoning would still require caution during the mapping process as a data provider can also have internal data entry rules concerning the assignment of such qualifiers, but it might not be included with the data itself, thus causing misinterpretation.

The interpretation of the “Before” and “After” qualifiers can serve to determine the exact boundaries of the time-span of an event. For example, if an event was said to occur before 1950, it would be possible to deduce its time-span to be between the birth of its participant and the year 1950, given that the birth dates are certain. Ideally, whenever the semantics of date qualifiers allow the inference of a time-span with certainty, it would be better to use a time-span with the Date Begin and Date End nodes and not to add statements with the literal qualifiers. However, such reasoning would require caution during the mapping process as a data provider can also have internal data entry rules concerning the assignment of such qualifiers, but it might not be included with the data itself, thus causing misinterpretation.

Edge Case·s The recipient of an award might be considered as part of a group that includes all of the recipients of this specific award, although it is not a formal group. In such a case, the founder of the group might be considered to be the first recipient just as much as the granting organism. For example, the Governor General’s Literary Awards were conceived and inaugurated in 1937 by John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir who was then acting as 15th Governor General of Canada. He awarded the award for Fiction to Laura G. Salverson for The Dark Weaver, for Poetry of drama to E.J. Pratt for The Fable of the Goats, and for Non-fiction to Stephen Leacock for My Discovery of the West (Canada Council for the Arts n.d.). Considering the group would be the “Recipients of the Governor General of Canada Literary Awards”, the original founder·s could either be solely John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir, or the first recipients, arguing they played a concrete role in the foundation of the group.

It could be argued that a person’s role within a family could remain the same no matter the current members of the family. For instance, an adopted child could be documented as bearing the role “Adopted” with the whole family group. In such a case, it would imply the use of the Group belonging pattern and the addition of the family type to the group.

Edge Case·s Mawu-che-hitoowin: A Gathering of People for any Purpose is a 1992 installation by Rebecca Belmore. Whether the rights mention of such an image (“© Rebecca Belmore 1992”) could be considered to be bibliographical is debatable.

Pope John XXIII was photographed by Yousuf Karsh in 1959 (Karsh n.d.). During the shoot, another photograph was taken which shows Yousuf Karsh discussing with the Pope (Karsh n.d.). Since the Pope is in two shots taken from the same event, it is up to the cataloguer to decide whether the visual item in the second photograph contains the visual item in the first one. The scope note of the class E36_Visual_Item which uses concepts like “recognizable” or “uniquely identifiable” (Bekiari et al. 2021, section E36 Visual Item) works relatively well for immutable objects, but its application becomes more complex for actors. Depending on the cataloguer, several criteria may or may not be taken into consideration such as the date and location of the image taken, the actor’s position, the action in progress, the clothing worn, etc. If the visual item of the first photograph is defined as “Pope John XXIII”, this same visual item is also found in the second photograph. However, if the visual item in the first photograph is defined as “Pope John XXIII photographed with his hand in the air”, this same visual item is not part of the second photograph.

Edge Case·s In 2016, Anish Kapoor coated his 2006 sculpture Cloud Gate in Vantablack, a light-absorbing material to which he bought the exclusive rights in terms of artistic use. The material has been developed and patented by Surrey NanoSystems (Higgins 2022). In this case, Vantablack could be considered to be a material (part of the sculpture) or a mark (as it was added to the sculpture years after it was first unveiled to the public) that amounts to a signature considering the use of Vantablack is exclusive to Kapoor. It is also debatable whether this Mark Type would apply to Surrey NanoSystems as well. This also poses the question of whether, if a mark is mainly used to enforce identity, it must enforce the identity of the actor of interest (associated Actor Appellation) or if it can enforce that of a third party (e.g. even though Cloud Gate is by Kapoor, this could be considered to enforce Surrey NanoSystems’ identity just as much).

What constitutes a mark might also be complicated by what it is posed on. For example, a sunburn such as that in Dennis Oppenheim’s Reading Position for Second Degree Burn (showing two parallel images of a man sunbathing on the sand where the first one shows an open book facing down on his chest and the second one displays the sunburn mark of the book upon removal) could be considered a mark of type “Sunburn” (Oppenheim 1970).

Comment·s A biological mother is understood to be the female genetic contributor to the creation of the infant through sexual intercourse or egg donation.

For appellations that are composed of parts (such as last names, first names, etc.), CHIN recommends the use of the Actor Appellation Part nodes and the Actor Appellation Part Type nodes in addition to the Actor Appellation node to document the appellation’s structure.

In some cases, unknown artists are referred to with the appellation “Unknown” or other particular identities (gender, nationality, etc.). However, the Mother Appellation entry nodes should not be used to record such information and should remain empty.

This entry node must be used exclusively in the context of the Birth and Death of a Person pattern. If the actor whose appellation is documented using this node is also an actor of interest in any other context of the dataset, their appellation must be documented accordingly using the Actor Appellation entry node.

For example, in the recording of the birth of a person 123, the appellation of the mother (person ABC) must be registered using the Mother Appellation entry node. However, if person ABC is also an actor of interest elsewhere in the dataset, their appellation·s must also be recorded using the Actor Appellation entry node.

Molly Bobak sketched in her diaries throughout the war and it is only three years after her enrollment that she was officially made a war artist (Occupation Type) by the Canadian War Artists Selection Committee (Wikipedia 2021f). In this case, it is unclear how best to record the information as the beginning date of the Occupation Type would be after the end of her serving. It is also unclear if the Occupation Type is determined by the act of completing tasks or by the holding of a position.

Numerical entering of dates might be misleading. For example, 06-12-45 might refer to June 12th, 1845 just as much as December 6th, 1945.

Ideally, whenever the semantics of date qualifiers allow the inference of a time-span with certainty, it would be better to use a time-span with the Date Begin and Date End nodes and not to add statements with the literal qualifiers. However, such reasoning would require caution during the mapping process as a data provider can also have internal data entry rules concerning the assignment of such qualifiers, but it might not be included with the data itself, thus causing misinterpretation.

Edge Case·s It is unclear if the production of a work begins with its ideation or with its physical making into the world. What about performance or intangible productions?

The use of a conceptual qualifier ascribed to dates could potentially be assessed.

The interpretation of the “Before” and “After” qualifiers can serve to determine the exact boundaries of the time-span of an event. For example, if an event was said to occur before 1950, it would be possible to deduce its time-span to be between the birth of its participant and the year 1950, given that the birth dates are certain. Ideally, whenever the semantics of date qualifiers allow the inference of a time-span with certainty, it would be better to use a time-span with the Date Begin and Date End nodes and not to add statements with the literal qualifiers. However, such reasoning would require caution during the mapping process as a data provider can also have internal data entry rules concerning the assignment of such qualifiers, but it might not be included with the data itself, thus causing misinterpretation.

Some important dates in history have alternative names that could be considered as appellations of more general periods, such as 9/11, Victory in Europe Day, D-Day, etc. These appellations are not currently managed in the model and should be treated following the Messy Data pattern.

The use of certain qualifiers like “Before” and “After” are allowed, but if possible, CHIN recommends the use of only the entry nodes Date Begin and Date End.

Typical Case·s Artists in Canada is a bilingual union list that identifies the location of documentation files on artists mentioned in the records of institutions located in Canada, who themselves submit their information (National Gallery of Canada 2019a/2019b). In this list, the record about Yousuf Karsh indicates that information has been contributed by the National Gallery of Canada Library and Archives/Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography (Record Contributor Appellation), was created on 1985-03-13 (Record Date Begin), and was last updated on 2011-06-03 (Record Date End) (Canadian Heritage, Government of Canada 2011).
Edge Case·s Recently created records will most likely have specific dates, but older ones created when collections management relied on paperwork rather than databases might have blurrier dates referring to periods of the institution’s history, such as “under the curatorship of Curator X” or “before the museum was instituted”.

The scope of what a contributor is could be blurry and include data that CHIN would retrieve for enrichment purposes (e.g. Wikidata could have a Record Contributor Appellation).

Some heritage institutions may have entities of interest other than actors or objects. For example, some institutions might focus on places and primarily describe their locations, their appellations, their descriptions, etc., so that records would be focused on places rather than on actors or objects. Documenting such cases would necessitate the acceptance of other sub-classes of E1_CRM_Entity to be linked to instances of E73_Information_Object beyond instances of E39_Actor and E22_Human-Made_Object.

Typical Case·s Who Do You Think You Are? by Alice Munro is held at Library and Archives Canada (Reference Document Institution Appellation) under the call number PS8576 U57 W46 1979 (Reference Document Call Number) (Library and Archives Canada 2022).
Edge Case·s The Reference Document Call Number refers to the document’s identifier which in turn determines its location within an institution. However, an archival institution might have multiple physical addresses or branches. The building where the reference document is held currently has no assigned documentation field so that it could be documented under the Reference Document Call Number (e.g. “PS8576 U57 W46 1979 - Wellington General Collection”) or under Reference Document Place (e.g. “395 Wellington St, Ottawa, ON K1A 0N4 - Wellington General Collection”), or even in the Reference Document Institution Appellation (e.g. “Library and Archives Canada - Wellington General”).

Comment·s Bilingually named entities (such as the National Gallery of Canada/Musée des beaux-arts du Canada) could either be recorded as two appellations (National Gallery of Canada and Musée des beaux-arts du Canada) or as one, bilingual appellation (National Gallery of Canada/Musée des beaux-arts du Canada).

For appellations that are composed of parts (such as last names, first names, etc.), CHIN recommends the use of the Actor Appellation Part nodes and the Actor Appellation Part Type nodes in addition to the Actor Appellation node to document the appellation’s structure.

In some cases, unknown artists are referred to with the appellation “Unknown” or other particular identities (gender, nationality, etc.). However, the Reference Document Institution Appellation node should not be used to record such information and should remain empty.

This entry node must be used exclusively in the context of the Reference Document Location pattern. If the actor whose appellation is documented using this node is also an actor of interest in any other context of the dataset, their appellation must be documented accordingly using the Actor Appellation entry node.

For example, in the recording of a reference document 123, the appellation of the institution holding the document (institution ABC) must be registered using the Reference Document Institution Appellation entry node. However, if institution ABC is also an actor of interest elsewhere in the dataset, its appellation·s must also be recorded using the Actor Appellation entry node.

Typical Case·s Who Do You Think You Are? by Alice Munro is held at Library and Archives Canada (Reference Document Institution Appellation), located at 395 Wellington St, Ottawa, ON K1A 0N4 - Wellington General Collection (Reference Document Place) under the call number PS8576 U57 W46 1979 (Reference Document Call Number) (Library and Archives Canada 2022).
Edge Case·s The Reference Document Call Number refers to the document’s identifier which in turn determines its location within an institution.

When an event takes place online or in a virtual universe, it could become difficult to determine its physical location. Is it better to consider the initial physical location where actors of the event are? For example, the production of a digital work was carried out by an artist on a computer in Winnipeg (MB, Canada) even if the tool used is accessible on a web server. When the actors are in different places, is it better to name all the places where they are in order to define the location of the event? For example, should an event taking place in the Second Life game require identification of each participating player’s physical location, which might be difficult to pinpoint due to privacy and security reasons? Otherwise, is it better to use the location of the server that supports the said event? For example, an international meeting taking place on Zoom could only be in Amsterdam since some of the company’s servers are located there.

Edge Case·s The interpretation of the “Before” and “After” qualifiers can serve to determine the exact boundaries of the time-span of an event. For example, if an event was said to occur before 1950, it would be possible to deduce its time-span to be between the birth of its participant and the year 1950, given that the birth dates are certain. Ideally, whenever the semantics of date qualifiers allow the inference of a time-span with certainty, it would be better to use a time-span with the Date Begin and Date End nodes and not to add statements with the literal qualifiers. However, such reasoning would require caution during the mapping process as a data provider can also have internal data entry rules concerning the assignment of such qualifiers, but it might not be included with the data itself, thus causing misinterpretation.

Comment·s There can be more than one qualifier at once for a single Date Begin (e.g. “BCE” and “BC” which is the same information, the former being qualified using the non-Christian acronym “Before Common Era” and the latter using the Christian acronym “Before Christ”).

Some important dates in history have alternative names that could be considered as appellations of more general periods, such as 9/11, Victory in Europe Day, D-Day, etc. These appellations are not currently managed in the model and should be treated following the Messy Data pattern.

The use of certain qualifiers like “Before” and “After” are allowed, but if possible, CHIN recommends the use of only the entry nodes Date Begin and Date End. For example, if an event took place before 1945, it would be possible to indicate the value “1944-12-31T23:59:59” for the Date End entry node of this event. In this scenario, the Date Begin entry node would remain empty.

Edge Case·s At the moment, it is unclear how groups can be represented when it comes to relationships. The Relationship entry nodes should not be used to indicate an individual’s belonging to a group, but to record groups’ relationships to one another, including corporations. These fields would not be used to record, for example, Tom Thomson being part of the Group of Seven, but would be used to record the relationship between the Canadian War Artists Selection Committee and the Canadian War Records, Canada’s Second World War art program. However, this points to actor relationships, and groups can be actors per current definitions.

Numerical entering of dates might be misleading. For example, 06-12-45 might refer to June 12th, 1845 just as much as December 6th, 1945.

Typical Case·s Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded an honorary Canadian citizenship (Social Status Type) in 2007 (Social Status Date Begin) CE (Social Status Date Begin Qualifier) by the Parliament of Canada (Social Status Ascribing Actor Appellation). The honour was revoked by the House of Commons on September 27, 2018 and by the Senate (Social Status Place “Canada”) on October 2, 2018 (Social Status Date End (debatable); Social Status Date End Qualifier “Before” (debatable)) due to human rights concerns over her treatment of the Rohingya (Wikipedia 2022i).

In 1990 (Social Status Date Begin) CE (Social Status Date Begin Qualifier), Yousuf Karsh was awarded the Companion of the Order of Canada (Social Status Type) by Queen Elizabeth II (Social Status Ascribing Actor Appellation) in Ottawa, CA-ON (Social Status Place). The social status was maintained even after Yousuf Karsh’s death in 2002 (Hillmer 2018; Skidmore 2015).
Edge Case·s Yousuf Karsh’s social status as Companion of the Order of Canada can also be considered as a membership (Group Belonging entry nodes).

If a war artist was assigned the number M32 435 C84 (his military registration number), this number would qualify as an Actor Appellation and the Actor Appellation Type would be “Military Registration Number” or “Military ID”. If the War Museum is related to the Department of National Defence or uses these numbers to identify artists, this number would qualify both as an Actor Appellation (the number assigned by the Department of Defence) and as an Actor ID (the same number used by the War Museum).

The French appellation of Power Corporation of Canada is Power Corporation du Canada. An institution wanting to record both these appellations could either create two Actor Appellations (one for Power Corporation of Canada indicated as English in the Actor Appellation Language node, and one for Power Corporation du Canada indicated as French in the Actor Appellation Language node) or a single, bilingual one (Power Corporation of Canada/Power Corporation du Canada).

The same applies to many governmental bodies in Canada such as PCH Canadian Heritage/Patrimoine canadien where, in addition, the question of the language of the acronym is unclear: if PCH is the Actor Appellation with an Actor Appellation Type labelled “Acronym”, it is possible to consider this as a single, bilingual appellation.

Some institutions need to document animals as actors and although the current definition could accommodate this, CIDOC CRM might not. For example, Wojtek was a bear officially enlisted in the Polish army (Wikipedia 2022c).

Comment·s Bilingually named entities (such as the National Gallery of Canada/Musée des beaux-arts du Canada) could either be recorded as two appellations (National Gallery of Canada and Musée des beaux-arts du Canada) or as one, bilingual appellation (National Gallery of Canada/Musée des beaux-arts du Canada).

For appellations that are composed of parts (such as last names, first names, etc.), CHIN recommends the use of the Actor Appellation Part nodes and the Actor Appellation Part Type nodes in addition to the Actor Appellation node to document the appellation’s structure.

In some cases, unknown artists are referred to with the appellation “Unknown” or other particular identities (gender, nationality, etc.). However, the Social Status Ascribing Actor Appellation node should not be used to record such information.

This entry node must be used exclusively in the context of the Social Status pattern. If the actor whose appellation is documented using this node is also an actor of interest in any other context of the dataset, their appellation must be documented accordingly using the Actor Appellation entry node.

For example, in the recording of the social status of an actor 123, the appellation of the institution that ascribed the social status (institution ABC) must be registered using the Social Status Ascribing Actor Appellation entry node. However, if institution ABC is also an actor of interest elsewhere in the dataset, its appellation·s must also be recorded using the Actor Appellation entry node.

For example, if an event took place before 1945, it would be possible to indicate the value “1944-12-31T23:59:59” for the Date End entry node of this event.

Alice Ann Munro is a Canadian short story writer and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature (Social Status Type “Nobel Laureate”), which she was awarded in Stockholm (Social Status Place) in 2013 (Social Status Date Begin). Munro died in 2013 shortly after having received the award (Social Status Date End; Social Status Date End Qualifier “After”) (Wikipedia 2022j). It is debatable whether there is a natural end to a status (i.e. when the actor dies) or if the only way to end a status is by the official revocation of that status (i.e. those that conferred it strip the recipient of it). In this case, it is also debatable whether the status is limited to a place or if it is worldwide.

When an event takes place online or in a virtual universe, it can become difficult to determine its physical location. For example, an artist might be granted an online distinction and associated status on a gathering platform accessible on a web server that could also be considered as the location of the social status.

Social Status Type

Scope This field indicates the relative rank and possible honour or prestige an actor holds relative to how well they are perceived to match society’s goals and ideals, as well as their associated hierarchical position in the group’s social stratification. Status reflects a set of connected behaviours, activities, functions, rights, obligations, duties, beliefs, lifestyle, and norms. It relies on the interactions between said actor and a community whose conference of the status upon the actor is a determining factor in the latter having tasks, rights, and beliefs associated with said status.

Comment·s Defining a social status type requires identifying the generalizable characteristics and symbols applicable to all who have that status. These characteristics must be contingent, relational, and dynamic in the sense that what they entail might change over time, but they must nonetheless remain salient.

A single actor can carry multiple different statuses at one time, just like they can carry a single status multiples times simultaneously. An actor’s status tends to vary with social context: in certain societies, lineage is the main determinant of status whilst in others professional occupations are more predominant.

Upon his arrival to Canada on December 31, 1924 (Stay Date Begin) CE (Stay Date Begin Qualifier), Yousuf Karsh (Stay Used Appellation) moved to Sherbrooke, CA-QC (Stay Place) to live with his maternal uncle George Nakash until 1928 (Stay Date End) before he left for Boston, USA-MA (Stay Place).

The interpretation of the “Before” and “After” qualifiers can serve to determine the exact boundaries of the time-span of an event. For example, if an event was said to occur before 1950, it would be possible to deduce its time-span to be between the birth of its participant and the year 1950, given that the birth dates are certain. Ideally, whenever the semantics of date qualifiers allow the inference of a time-span with certainty, it would be better to use a time-span with the Date Begin and Date End nodes and not to add statements with the literal qualifiers. However, such reasoning would require caution during the mapping process as a data provider can also have internal data entry rules concerning the assignment of such qualifiers, but it might not be included with the data itself, thus causing misinterpretation.

Obviously, by doing this, the data does not document the travel, which was certainly very impactful on the artist’s life. This edge case shows that the line between moving and staying is blurred. If an archive indicates someone’s presence somewhere, it may be that they lived there, or that they were simply travelling to another place.

When an event takes place online or in a virtual universe, it can become difficult to determine its physical location. For example, an artist might have been granted a sustained presence on an online platform as a guest contributor where they created dedicated works, and the geographical location from which they created them can be a Stay Place just as much as that of the web server that hosts the site.

Upon his arrival to Canada on December 31, 1924 (Stay Date Begin) CE (Stay Date Begin Qualifier), Yousuf Karsh (Stay Used Appellation) moved to Sherbrooke, CA-QC (Stay Place) to live with his maternal uncle George Nakash until 1928 (Stay Date End) before he left for Boston, USA-MA (Stay Place). He stayed there until 1931 (Stay Date Begin “1928-01-01T00:00:00Z”; Stay Date End “1931-12-31T23:59:59Z”) CE (Stay Date Begin Qualifier; Stay Date End Qualifier) (Karsh n.d.).

Molly Bobak (Stay Used Appellation) was a Canadian artist who served as Second Lieutenant during World War II from November 1942 when she enlisted in the Canadian Women’s Army Corps to September 1945. She went to London, GB (Stay Place) after Victory in Europe Day, where she met her future husband, Brunislaw Jacob Bobak (Stay Date Begin “1945-05-08T00:00:00”; Stay Date Begin Qualifier “After”; Stay Date End “1945-09-30T23:59:59”; Stay Date End Qualifier “Before”) (Wikipedia 2021f).

If a war artist was assigned the number M32 435 C84 (his military registration number), this number would qualify as an Actor Appellation and the Actor Appellation Type would be “Military Registration Number” or “Military ID”. If the War Museum is related to the Department of National Defence or uses these numbers to identify artists, this number would qualify both as an Actor Appellation (the number assigned by the Department of Defence) and as an Actor ID (the same number used by the War Museum).

The French appellation of Power Corporation of Canada is Power Corporation du Canada. An institution wanting to record both these appellations could either create two Actor Appellations (one for Power Corporation of Canada indicated as English in the Actor Appellation Language node, and one for Power Corporation du Canada indicated as French in the Actor Appellation Language node) or a single, bilingual one (Power Corporation of Canada/Power Corporation du Canada).

The same applies to many governmental bodies in Canada such as PCH Canadian Heritage/Patrimoine canadien where, in addition, the question of the language of the acronym is unclear: if PCH is the Actor Appellation with an Actor Appellation Type labelled “Acronym”, it is possible to consider this as a single, bilingual appellation.

Comment·s Bilingually named entities (such as the National Gallery of Canada/Musée des beaux-arts du Canada) could either be recorded as two appellations (National Gallery of Canada and Musée des beaux-arts du Canada) or as one, bilingual appellation (National Gallery of Canada/Musée des beaux-arts du Canada).

For appellations that are composed of parts (such as last names, first names, etc.), CHIN recommends the use of the Actor Appellation Part nodes and the Actor Appellation Part Type nodes in addition to the Actor Appellation node to document the appellation’s structure.

In some cases, unknown artists are referred to with the appellation “Unknown” or other particular identities (gender, nationality, etc.). However, the Stay Used Appellation node should not be used to record such information.

Typical Case·s In Artists in Canada, the main technique associated with Yousuf Karsh is photography (Technique Used Type).
Edge Case·s Yousuf Karsh was known in particular for his portraits. Depending on the classification chosen, a vocabulary could define portrait photography as a technique, like the AAT with “commercial portraiture” (AAT 2019), or simply stop at “photography” without any child terms. The latter implies that producing a portrait does not require different skills than producing any type of photograph. In this case, further specification of the techniques can be achieved through the description of artefacts. The information concerning the portrait could then be managed via the subjects of the photograph produced by Yousuf Karsh or the description of its composition.
