Actor Appellation

Scope This field designates the entire identifying word(s), number(s), symbol(s) or code(s) by which an entity (personal or corporate) is distinguished from others, such as the name, title, or designation of an actor 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) Kitwancoolwas painted by Emily Carr in 1928. In this case a provider could decide enter “Emily Carr” in the Actor Appellation field. It would also be possible to use the Actor Appellation Part fields to create an “Emily” Actor Appellation Part (“First Name” in the Actor Appellation Part Type) and a “Carr” Actor Appellation Part (“Last Name” in the Actor Appellation Part Type).

However, such Appellations should be indicated as Non-Preferred under Actor Appellation Precedence so that original names have precedence. This would especially be the case for Indigenous creators who might have been assigned a name or number by Canadian governing bodies in lieu of their own name. In such cases CHIN advises institutions to always prefer the Appellation preferred by the Actor.

Power Corporation of Canada, headquartered in Montréal, has an important private collection of artworks. Another Actor Appellation could be created for “Power Corp” that is a brand name (under Actor Appellation Type) of Power Corporation of Canada. Its International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) is “CA7392391016” and it is traded as “TSX: POW”, both of which could have their dedicated Actor Appellations as well (with their respective Actor Appellation Type being “International Securities Identification Number” and “Stock Symbol”.
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 the “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 Field, and one for Power Corporation du Canada indicated as French in the Actor Appellation Language field) 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 an Actor Appellation with a Actor Appellation Type “Acronym”, it is impossible to assign a single language to the Actor Appellation Language.

Unknown artists whose cultural affiliation has been determined are often referred to as such (e.g. “Unknown Canadian”)… how and where unknown artists should be recorded is subject to debate (considering “unknown Canadian” is not an Actor Appellation and the cultural affiliation of the individual can be recorded in the Cultural Affiliation field).

Whether to classify (artistic, but also other, such as companies) collectives (e.g. Gilbert & George, BGL, etc.) as an organization (using an Actor Appellation) or a group (using a Group Appellation) has not yet been determined. Provided the collective considers itself to be an autonomous artistic entity, it would not suit a Group Appellation considering Group belonging revolves around the multiplicity of entities. The same would apply for trios, etc. (e.g. BGL) as long as the “group” considers itself to be a single autonomous creator. For example, should BGL be recorded under Actor Appellation with the Actor Appellation Type “Acronym” and “Brand Name” (which begs the question: do we allow more than one type on a single Actor Appellation) or under Group Appellation with the members being recorded as Actors with the Actor Appellations “Jasmin Bilodeau”, “Sébastien Giguère”, and “Nicolas Laverdière”?

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.

Typical Case(s) Some languages have alphabets that are specific (e.g. Inuktitut) so that determining the Language of the Appellation would not be problematic, for example: “ᕿᓐᓄᐊᔪᐊᖅᐋᓯᕙᒃ” is written in Inuktitut. That said, this does not account for dialects nor for the fact that identifying what alphabet an Actor Appellation is written in might be problematic. This begs the question of whether there should be a field dedicated to character sets/alphabets (e.g. latin, arabic, chinese, etc.).

Other cases are language-specific versions of a name, such as the Actor Appellation “Léonard de Vinci”, which would have and Actor Appellation Language value of “French”. “Leonardo da Vinci” on the other hand would be harder to classify as it has no intrinsic language, it is simply the name of the Actor (this is demonstrated by the fact that the same Actor Appellation is used both in English and in Italian). The same would apply to groups (e.g. “Aldo” is not specifically French or English, but “Second Cup Café et cie.” is the French equivalent to “Second Cup Coffee Co.”).
Edge Case(s) The original appellation of a person is not fundamentally linked to a language (Leonardo da Vinci is “Leonardo da Vinci” both in English and in Italian, although in French he is referred to as “Léonard de Vinci”).

Any Actor Appellation that is a number would not fit nicely into a languages controlled vocabulary either. For example, “0100101110101101.ORG”, a collective comprising Eva and Franco Mattes.

Bilingual considerations apply 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 an Actor Appellation with a Actor Appellation Type “Acronym”, it is impossible to assign a single language to the Actor Appellation Language. As such, would the Actor Appellation Language accomodate a list of languages as values? The Appellations could also be divided into Actor Appellation Parts with “PCH” having and Actor Appellation Part Type “Affix”, “Canadian Heritage” having an Appellation Part Type “Root” and “Patrimoine canadien” having an Appellation Part Type “Root” as well. This begs the question of the order and manner in which Actor Appellation Parts will be displayed.

Comment(s) Internationally or nationally agreed codes and terminologies (such as ISO 639-3) can be used, and the field accommodates all UTF-8 compliant languages.

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

Regarding the “Expected Value” link, Lexvo does not have any browse or search capability for identifying languages, i.e. you can keysmash into Lexvo and it will generate a URI for “hsdjkhsdhf” without verifying whether this is a recognized language or not. In order to find language URIs on Lexvo (as opposed to terms in a language), the search has to be done using ISO-639 codes and the ISO-639 Code Tables do not allow browsing, only free searching, and do not cross-reference to geographic region. So the effort involved in verifying whether languages provided in the First Nations, Metis and Inuit Indigenous Ontologies (FNMIIO) spreadsheet are recognized as languages with URIs or have ISO codes is considerable at this stage given that 99.9% of museum data is in English or French. This is something CHIN intends to come back to once datasets for all other fields have been completed or if an operational need arises.

CHIN has decided to expand the definition of the field to accommodate both natural and technical languages because allowing only natural languages would not bring about more meaning. Allowing both accounts for potential names that might use technical languages (for example, an artist that would use @ID as their name). This is mostly to be more mindful of potential edge cases.

Typical Case(s) Kitwancool was painted by Emily Carr in 1928. An institution could decide to enter “Emily Carr” in the Actor Appellation field. It would also be possible to use the Actor Appellation Part fields to create an “Emily” Actor Appellation Part (“First Name” in the Actor Appellation Part Type) and a “Carr” Actor Appellation Part (“Last Name” in the Actor Appellation Part Type).

“Groupe Hachette” can be recorded as a combination of the Actor Appellation Parts “Groupe” (Actor Appellation Part Type Legal Affix”) and “Hachette” (Actor Appellation Part Type “Brand Name” or “Root”).
Edge Case(s) Middle names in general are hard to situate within an Actor Appellation. For example, Jean Paul Riopelle could be considered to be “Jean” (Actor Appellation Part Type “First Name”), “Paul” (Actor Appellation Part Type “Middle Name”) and “Riopelle” (Actor Appellation Part Type “Last Name”) just as it could be “Jean Paul” (Actor Appellation Part Type “First Name”) “Riopelle” (Actor Appellation Part Type “Last Name”). How to determine the order and display of parts will thus be a challenge.

The same applies to organizations’ appellations that might have multiple parts such as “Randy & Berenicci”, which would be composed of three Actor Appellation Parts (“Randy”, Actor Appellation Part Type “Root”; “&”, Actor Appellation Part Type “Affix”; “Berenicci”, Actor Appellation Part Type “Root”). In this case how to determine the order of the Actor Appellation Parts could not be automatized and would likely be problematic. In addition, whether to classify an artistic duo (or trio etc.) as an organization (using an Actor Appellation) or a group (using a Group Appellation) has not yet been determined. Provided the duo considers itself to be an autonomous artistic entity, it would not suit a Group Appellation considering Group belonging revolves around the multiplicity of entities.

Typical Case(s) The record of a painting in a collection by the painter Emily Carr entitled Kitwancool made in 1928. “Emily” is the “First Name” Actor Appellation Part Type and “Carr” is the “Last Name” Actor Appellation Part Type.

Typical Case(s) 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 “Jeff Wall”) and Diagonal Composition (1993) is by Jeffrey Wall (Actor Appellation “Jeffrey Wall”), 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 non-preferred).
Edge Case(s) A provider might have more than two Actor Appellations for a single E39_Actor and might wish not only to identify its preferred appellation, but to rank 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”. At the moment the model accommodates binary precedence rather than rankings. This might especially be so for organizational names that are bilingual where no precedence should be determined based on the Language. For example, the “National Gallery of Canada” and “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” or “National Gallery” or “MBAC” or “Musée des beaux-arts”. Only two Appellations (one in English and one in French, in this case) is no problem as no precedence will be ascribed. But any more than two Appellations poses the problem of precedence. In addition, this does not indicate how the data should, ultimately, be displayed (e.g. English before French or vice-versa).

Typical Case(s) “DAIM” (Actor Appellation Type “Pseudonym”) is the artist name used by Mirko Reisser (Actor Appellation Type “Name”).

“Tate” (Actor Appellation Type “Corporate Name”) is the name used by the Tate institution which also has other, distinctive Actor Appellations for each of its branches (Actor Appellation “Tate”, Actor Appellation Type “Brand Name”; Actor Appellation “Tate Britain”, Actor Appellation Type “Brand Name”; Actor Appellation “Tate Modern”, Actor Appellation Type “Brand Name”; Actor Appellation “Tate Modern 1”, Actor Appellation Type “Brand Name”; Actor Appellation “Tate Modern 2”, Actor Appellation Type “Brand Name”; Actor Appellation “Tate St Ives”, Actor Appellation Type “Brand Name”; Actor Appellation “Tate Liverpool”, Actor Appellation Type “Brand Name”).
Edge Case(s) Translated versions of an Actor Appellation, such as “Léonard de Vinci”, can be considered to be Actor Appellations in their own right with the Actor Appellation Type “Name”, but they could also be considered to be 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 a Type of the Actor Appellation without an Actor Appellation.

It will be tricky to determine the completion of an appellation (for example, 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 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 being the maiden name, and Blythe being the married name. Once again, the institution’s authority will 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 E39_Actor to the name use activity (frbroo: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 for example), 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.

Typical Case(s) Charles Lutwidge Dodgson published under the pen name “Lewis Carroll” for the last time in February 1898 when his book Three Sunsets and Other Poems was published. The Actor Appellation Use Date End, in this case, would be “1898-02”.
Edge Case(s) SAMO is a graffiti tag that was used in New York from 1977-1980, primarily by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Al Diaz. It could be considered an Actor Appellation (Actor Appellation Type “Pseudonym”), a Group Appellation (Group Type “Team”) and the dates would not be problematic (1980 as an Actor Appellation Use Date End), but it could also be considered to be Objects (as SAMO was graffitied across the city) and thus can be used by multiple actors. 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 object appellation and an actor appellation of the same name, but how to handle the dates for each would have to be clarified.

Potential Error(s) Actor Appellation Use Date End is not following the CIDOC CRM rule which states that an event is a pontual CRM entity which transforms something in reality. In the case of an appellation use, the date end represents the end of the period where this name is used to identify the actor.
Comment(s) Whenever possible, this node should be used in conjunction with Actor Appellation Use Date Begin to create the interval of the described event.

The Actor Appellation Date End temporalises an E5_Event X regardless of the temporality of the other E5_Event it is related to such that, for example, even though, Dodgson died (1898-01-14) prior to the publication of his last book (1898-02), the Actor Appellation Use Date End can exceed the actor’s Death Date End.

Typical Case(s) Charles Lutwidge Dodgson published under the pen name “Lewis Carroll” for the last time in February 1898 when his book Three Sunsets and Other Poems was published. The Actor Appellation Use Date End, in this case, would be “1898-02” and a Actor Appellation Use Date End Qualifier could be “BCE”.
Edge Case(s) There might be cases where the Actor Appellation Use Date Begin and the Actor Appellation Use Date Begin Qualifier would be the same, in particular when it comes to eras. For example, “Victorian Era” can be both the Actor Appellation Use Date Begin and the Actor Appellation Use Date Begin Qualifier. Determining what eras the qualifiers will entail (through the vocabulary used to handle them) will thus be paramount.

Some important dates in history have alternative names that could be considered to be either alternate appellations or qualifiers, such as 9/11, Victory in Europe Day, D-Day, etc.

Potential Error(s) The Target Model will account for the terms provided as values, but not for their definition or for the understanding the provider might have of them. As such, terms, rather than meanings, will be matched to controlled vocabularies so that the hierarchies of these vocabularies might not reflect the initial understanding of the provider as to the context of the term. This is one of the reasons why the use of recognized controlled vocabularies is of paramount importance.

Typical Case(s) Who Do You Think You Are? by Alice Munro is held at Library and Archives Canada (Archival Document Institution Appellation) under the call number “PS8576 U57 W46 1979” (Archival Document Call Number).
Edge Case(s) It is unclear what “archival document” refers to: does it comprise historically significant objects? Might an object be both an Archival Document and an Artefact? Would the United States Constitution, housed in the United States National Archives, be considered an Archival Document or an Artefact as it could be documented in both fields? If it is considered to be both how should it be documented?

The Archival 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 archival document is held currently has no assigned documentation field so that it could be documented under the Archival Document Call Number (e.g. “PS8576 U57 W46 1979 - Wellington General Collection”) or under Archival Document Place (e.g. “395 Wellington St, Ottawa, ON K1A 0N4 - Wellington General Collection”), or even in the Archival Document Institution Appellation (e.g. “Library and Archives Canada - Wellington General”).

Typical Case(s) A manufacturer named “Woodwork Construction Ltd.” (Actor Appellation) is named after the owner’s previous company (Annotation placed on the Actor Appellation: “Name based on the owner’s previous company”).

Work titles that are considered disrespectful or insensitive might be changed, as was the case at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia where the Associate Curator of Historical Prints Diane O’Neill decided to label Bringing in Evergreens for the Arches under this new title rather than its previous, racially insensitive one.

Born in Kenya, she has lived and established her career in New York for over twenty years.

Snarkitecture’s work is focused on designing within existing spaces or collaboration with other artists and designers. They aim to reuse or misuse existing architecture to make architecture perform the unexpected. Arsham and Mustonen met while studying at the Cooper Union in New York City and established Snarkitecture as a formal practice in 2008”.

Edge Case(s) Some languages have alphabets that are specific (e.g. Inuktitut) so that determining the Language of the Appellation would not be problematic, for example: “ᕿᓐᓄᐊᔪᐊᖅᐋᓯᕙᒃ” is written in Inuktitut. That said, this does not account for dialects nor for the fact that identifying what alphabet an Actor Appellation is written in might be problematic. This begs the question of whether we should have a field dedicated to character sets/alphabets (e.g. latin, arabic, chinese, etc.).

Bilingual considerations could apply to Biographies as well so that it would either be impossible to assign a single Biography Language to the Biography Content, or the field would have to accomodate a list of values. For example, Harri Aalto’s Biography could be recorded as either Harri Aalto (Actor Appellation) “immigrated to Canada in 1952” (Biography Content with an “English” Biography Language) along with “a immigré au Canada en 1952” (Biography Content with a “French” Biography Language) or as “Harri Aalto immigrated to Canada in 1952 / Harri Aalto a immigré au Canada en 1952” (Biography Content with no way to record both languages in the Biography Language).

The “Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC)” (Actor Appellation) was chartered on “2 May 1670” (Birth/Formation Date Begin) “CE” (Birth/Formation Date Begin Qualifier).
Edge Case(s) 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) “David Altmejd” (Actor Appellation) was born in “Montréal, QC” (Birth/Formation Place) in “1974” (Birth/Formation Date Begin).
Edge Case(s) “Maud Kathleen Lewis” (Actor Appellation) was born in her “South Ohio, NS” (Birth/Formation Place) childhood home to John and Agnes Dowley. 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 an Annotation on the Birth/Formation Place or a Birth/Formation Place in and of itself.

A group might not have a single Formation Place as its members can consider themselves part of a collective without sharing a common space. Alternatively, this poses the question of whether an online meeting space is considered to be an E53_Place. For example, would members of the Nettime mailing list be considered to be part of a group which would have the “nettime.org” Formation Place?

Typical Case(s) Rebecca Belmore is an “Anishinaabe” (Community) “Canadian” (Nationality) multidisciplinary artist and member of the “Lac Seul First Nation” (Nationhood). Belmore identifies as “Anishinaabe” (Cultural Affiliation Type).

Benjamin West is a “British” (Nationality) painter most associated with his depiction of what is now “Canada” (Community) despite his living and identifying most with “Europe” (Cultural Affiliation Type) during his lifetime.

Armand Vaillancourt is a “French-Canadian” (Community) “Canadian” (Nationality) sculptor, painter, and performance artist who identifies as “Québécois” (Cultural Affiliation Type).

Kehinde Wiley is an “American” (Nationality) “Nigerian-American” (Community) “Angeleno” (Community) portrait painter.

Mickalene Thomas is an “American” (Nationality) “African-American” (Community) “Queer” (Community) “New York” (Cultural Affiliation Type) based multimedia artist.
Edge Case(s) Community and Cultural Affiliation Type are two fields that are extremely similar and it is highly likely that they will be confused as most people who are part of a community identify as part of that community (cultural affiliation type). Nonetheless, having both fields appears to be useful to differentiate between the community people are perceived to be part of (Community), and that which they identify with. One of the types of information CHIN has not yet determined where to assign is smaller bodies such as provinces that could be recorded in Community or Cultural Affiliation Type. Other identity affiliation might also be difficult to categorize. For example, Armand Vaillancourt identified as a “souverainiste”, which could also fit (although this is debatable) the scope of Cultural Affiliation Type.

Comment(s) Belonging to a community revolves around four major elements that can be used to assess it: membership (the actor shares a sense of personal relatedness); influence (the actor matters to the group and the group matters to the actor); reinforcement (the group contributes to the integration of the actor and the fulfillment of their needs); emotional connection.

It might be difficult to find URIs, especially for Indigenous communities, as the TGN often prefers English-language or historical names, and may not recognize Indigenous names or variations at all. Geonames has many alternate names, but they are tied to languages and relevancy/preference are not clearly defined (although it has the capabilities to do so, implementation is inconsistent). TGN has one determined “preferred name” whereas Geonames does not require a single controlled term.

Cultural Affiliation Type

Scope This field indicates cultural, rather than legal, belonging to a group that is characterized by shared customs, mores, and practices revolving around common elements such as location, history, language, beliefs, culinary practices, etc. It revolves around collective values and identities and, as such, it is possible to have multiple affiliations at once. This belonging is not official in the sense that assent from the concerned group is not formalized or explicit.

Typical Case(s) Rebecca Belmore is an “Anishinaabe” (Community) “Canadian” (Nationality) multidisciplinary artist and member of the “Lac Seul First Nation” (Nationhood). Belmore identifies as “Anishinaabe” (Cultural Affiliation Type).

Benjamin West is a “British” (Nationality) painter most associated with his depiction of what is now “Canada” (Community) despite his living and identifying most with “Europe” (Cultural Affiliation Type) during his lifetime.

Armand Vaillancourt is a “French-Canadian” (Community) “Canadian” (Nationality) sculptor, painter, and performance artist who identifies as “Québécois” (Cultural Affiliation Type).

Kehinde Wiley is an “American” (Nationality) “Nigerian-American” (Community) “Angeleno” (Community) portrait painter.

Mickalene Thomas is an “American” (Nationality) “African-American” (Community) “Queer” (Community) “New York” (Cultural Affiliation Type) based multimedia artist.
Edge Case(s) Community and Cultural Affiliation Type are two fields that are extremely similar and it is highly likely that they will be confused as most people who are part of a community identify as part of that community (cultural affiliation). Nonetheless, having both fields appears to be useful to differentiate between the community people are perceived to be part of (Community) from which they identify with. One of the types of information CHIN has not yet determined where to assign is smaller bodies such as provinces that could be recorded in Community or Cultural Affiliation Type. Other identity affiliation might also be difficult to categorize. For example, Armand Vaillancourt identified as a “souverainiste”, which could fit (although this is debatable) the scope of Cultural Affiliation Type.

Some Actors might identify themselves as “Cosmopolitan” first and foremost, and in such a case it would be recorded here.

Polities or other groups might identify as being culturally affiliated to larger groups, such as France with regards to Europe.

Comment(s) The AAT generally refers to “culture or style” whereas Wikidata primarily refers to ethnic groups. It is a tricky field because culture and ethnicity are linked, as are culture and nationality, but they are not 100% identical.

It is distinct from and broader than nationality, which is a strictly legal concept independent of an actors’ explicit or implicit identification with a culture. For example, an artist born in France and endowed with the French nationality could live in Canada for most of their life and claim Canadian cultural affiliation despite not having Canadian citizenship.

Typical Case(s) “Rebecca Belmore was the first Indigenous woman to present at the Canadian pavilion of the Venice Biennale in 2005” (Curatorial Note) is written in English (Curatorial Note Language).
Edge Case(s) Some languages have alphabets that are specific (e.g. Inuktitut) so that determining the Language of the Curatorial Note Content would not be problematic, for example: “ᕿᓐᓄᐊᔪᐊᖅᐋᓯᕙᒃ” is written in Inuktitut. That said, this does not account for dialects nor for the fact that identifying what alphabet a Curatorial Note Content is written in might be problematic. This begs the question of whether we should have a field dedicated to character sets/alphabets (e.g. latin, arabic, chinese, etc.).

Bilingual considerations could apply to Curatorial Notes as well so that it would either be impossible to assign a single Curatorial Note Language to the Curatorial Note Content, or the field would have to accomodate a list of values.

Price Brothers (Actor Appellation) was then merged with Stone Consolidated (Actor Appellation) in 1997 (Death/Dissolution Date Begin), which was in turn merged with Bowater (Actor Appellation) to form AbitibiBowater (Actor Appellation) in 2007 (Death/Dissolution Date Begin), now known under Resolute Forest Products (Actor Appellation). In the case of such mergers and acquisitions, what would be considered to be the dissolution of the company is unclear.

Considering this is a date field, how would an actor that is known to be dead but for which there is no associated date of death be accounted for here? In other words, how do we differentiate between someone that is not dead and someone who is dead but we do not know when they died?

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.

Some important dates in history have alternative names that could be considered to be either alternate appellations or qualifiers, such as 9/11, Victory in Europe Day, D-Day, etc.

Typical Case(s) Tom Thomson’s artistic peak is considered to run from March 1916 (Flourishing Date Begin “1916-03”) “CE” (Flourishing Date Begin Qualifier) until his death in July 1917 (Flourishing Date End “1917-07-08”; Death Date Begin “1917-07-08”) “CE” (Flourishing Date End Qualifier).
Edge Case(s) There might be cases where the Flourishing Date End and the Flourishing Date End Qualifier would be the same, in particular when it comes to eras. For example, “Victorian Era” can be both the Flourishing Date End and the Flourishing Date End Qualifier. Determining what eras the qualifiers will entail (through the vocabulary used to handle them) will thus be paramount.

Some important dates in history have alternative names that could be considered to be either alternate appellations or qualifiers, such as 9/11, Victory in Europe Day, D-Day, etc.

During this period, Thomson mostly painted the “Ontario” (Flourishing Place) landscape as he travelled across the province .
Edge Case(s) An actor might not have a single Flourishing Place or have a virtual one. For example, this poses the question of whether an online meeting space is considered to be a Place. For example, would members of the Nettime mailing list be considered to be part of a group which would have the “nettime.org” Flourishing Place?

Scope This field documents the cultural gender (not the biological one) that a person identifies as. As a socio-cultural concept it refers to a state or condition associated with a range of characteristics having to do with a person’s behaviour, mannerisms, interests, and appearance, and the way they are associated with gendered categories in a particular cultural context.

Comment(s) May need to find another vocab for this. AAT & Wikidata do not capture gender in great accuracy.

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) “Painters Eleven” (Group Appellation) was a Torontonian artists group that emerged in the 1950s (Group Joining Date Begin) and was composed of Jack Bush, Oscar Cahén, Hortense Gordon, Thomas Hodgson, Alexandra Luke, J.W.G. (“Jock”) Macdonald, Ray Mead, Kazuo Nakamura, William Ronald, Harold Town, and Walter Yarwood.
Edge Case(s) Whether to classify artistic collectives (e.g. Gilbert & George, BGL, etc.) as an organization (using an Actor Appellation) or a group (using a Group Appellation) has not yet been determined. Provided the collective considers itself to be an autonomous artistic entity, it would not suit a Group Appellation considering Group belonging revolves around the multiplicity of entities. The same would apply for trios, etc. (e.g. BGL) as long as the “group” considers itself to be a single autonomous creator. For example, should BGL be recorded under Actor Appellation with the Actor Appellation Types “Acronym” and “Brand Name” (which begs the question: do we allow more than one type on a single Actor Appellation) or under Group Appellation with the members being recorded as Actors with the Actor Appellations “Jasmin Bilodeau”, “Sébastien Giguère”, and “Nicolas Laverdière”? Pseudonyms might also be used to refer to groups/duos, such as in the cas of “0100101110101101.ORG”, a collective constituted of Eva and Franco Mattes.

Certain groups are comprised of members that are entirely anonymous. Should such groups be recorded under Actor Appellation (or will CHIN convert them accordingly?). For example, the Guerilla Girls are an art collective whose members are shifting and wish to remain entirely anonymous.

Typical Case(s) The “Société d’art contemporain” (Group Appellation) was founded in Montréal (Birth/Formation Place) in January 1939 (Group Joining Date Begin) by John Lyman (Actor Appellation, Founding Actor Appellation) who was its founder (Group Member Role) along with 24 other artists.
Edge Case(s) Being the recipient of an award might be considered as being part of a group that would be formed of all of the recipients of this specific award, although it is not a formal group. In such a case, would the founder of the group be considered to be the first recipient, or the granting organism? For example, the Governor General’s Literary Awards were conceived and inaugurated in 1937 (Group Joining Date Begin) 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(Group Member Role “Member” or “Recipient”), that for Poetry of drama to E.J. Pratt for The Fable of the Goats(Group Member Role “Member” or “Recipient”), and the award for Non-fiction to Stephen Leacock for My Discovery of the West(Group Member Role “Member” or “Recipient”). Considering the Group would be the “Recipients of the Governor General of Canada Literary Awards”, would the original recipients considered to be founders (Group Member Role) or would the founder of the award itself (John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir) be considered to be the founder of the group as well?

Typical Case(s) Candice Breitz did Profile Variation in 2017. The video contains an image showing the back of a person’s head with a shaved Visa Inc. logo.

The Visa logo could be marked within the image, in which case it would have to be quoted using Mark Bibliographical Mention (“Breitz, Candice. 2017. Profile Variation. HD video. Artwork.”). In this example the Mark Type would be “Logo” and the Mark URL would point to this image:

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. 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 limited to Kapoor. It is also debatable whether this is Mark Type for 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 main Actor, 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. Would the mark have to be permanent? Would a tattoo constitute a Mark for example? Or a sunburn such as in Dennis Oppenheim’s Reading Position for Second Degree Burn performance showing two parallel before and after images of a man sunbathing on the sand. The before part has an open book facing down on the chest, and the after part has the sunburn mark of the book upon removal.

Edge Case(s) There might be cases where the Nationality Joining Date Begin and the Nationality Joining Date Begin Qualifier would be the same, in particular when it comes to eras.

Typical Case(s) Janet Cardiff (Actor Appellation) is a Canadian (Nationality) artist (Occupation Type) born on 1957-03-15 (Nationality Joining Date Begin & Nationality Joining Date End) and who was active as an artist as of 1995.

Margaret Wade Labarge (Actor Appellation) was born in New York City in 1916 (Nationality “American”; Joining Date Begin “1916-07-18”) and moved to Canada with her husband in 1940. She renounced her US citizenship (Nationality “American”; Leaving Date Begin “1939”; Leaving Date Begin Qualifier “after”) and became a Canadian citizen (Nationality “Canadian”, Joining Date Begin “1940”, Joining Date Begin Qualifier “or after”; Joining Date End “1940”, Joining Date End Qualifier “after”), which she remained until her death on August 31, 2009 (Leaving Date Begin and Leaving Date End “2009-08-31”).
Edge Case(s) Mark Carney (Actor Appellation) is a Canadian economist and banker (Nationality “Canadian”) born in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories on March 16, 1965 (Nationality Joining Date Begin “1965-03-16”).

He acquired British nationality on November 21, 2018 (Nationality “British”; Joining Date Begin “2018-11-21”). He thus holds Canadian, Irish, and British citizenship. It is not clear how many nationalities an actor can hold nor is it established how this information should be recorded (e.g. should begin or end dates be used? should the joining date begin determine the beginning of the process or of the official holding of the nationality, considering the process is often several years long?).

Scope This field indicates the status of belonging to an autonomous polity endowed with official structures or institutionalized hierarchy (whether formalized or not) as well as shared customs, mores, and practices revolving around common elements such as location, history, language, beliefs, culinary practices, etc. Unlike cultural affiliation type—which relies on (self-)identification—or nationality—which refers to the legal status of being a citizen or a subject of a recognized state—,Nationhood describes official belonging with implicit or explicit assent from the group (as represented by its officials or influential members). It refers to the nation the actor identifies/is identified with regardless of their nationality or culture.

Typical Case(s) Rebecca Belmore is an “Anishinaabe” (Community) “Canadian” (Nationality) multidisciplinary artist and member of the “Lac Seul First Nation” (Nationhood). Belmore identifies as “Anishinaabe” (Cultural Affiliation Type).

Norval Morrisseau, whose Ojibwe name is “ᐅᓵᐚᐱᐦᑯᐱᓀᐦᓯ”, or “Copper Thunderbird” (Actor Appellations) was born March 14, 1932 of the Gregorian Calendar (Nationhood Joining Date Begin and Nationhood Joining Date End, Nationhood Joining Date Begin Qualifier), which corresponds to the “Ziissbaakgoke Giizas/Sugar Moon” (Nationhood Joining Date Begin and Nationhood Joining Date End, Nationhood Joining Date Begin Qualifier and Nationhood Joining Date End Qualifier “Ojibwe Calendar”).

Controlled List/Term N/A
Potential Error(s) TBD
Comment(s) This field accommodates various types of nationhood, including ethnic, civic, tribal, and multicultural nationhood. Nationhood often revolves around shared practices and traditions transmitted from one generation to another, although it is not exclusively the case.

CHIN does not recommend using this field to record association with a religious order (which should be recorded under “Community”) as the latter revolves around an individual conviction and faith in the truthfulness of specific beliefs more so than belonging to the group itself.

Polities’ official structures can take the form of different political units such as civil or local government bodies, tribal assemblies, band councils, etc. Although polities often have control of a geographic area or resources, it is not always the case.

Inclusion of Indigenous-language names for peoples/groups is spotty in both AAT and Wikidata. Generally, English-language/historical names are more likely to be recognized.

Edge Case(s) What CHIN considers to be the latest temporal moment of joining is debatable: does it involve official belonging to the nation through a formal process, or does it start as soon as the actor is in contact with the nation that will later consider them to be a member, with the Nationhood Joining Date End being the date of official granting of the status for example?

Some important dates in history have alternative names that could be considered to be either alternate appellations or qualifiers, such as 9/11, Victory in Europe Day, D-Day, etc.

Edge Case(s) What constitutes the leaving of a nation should be defined, or even if a nation can be left. Is it only an actor that can leave a nation, or can he be officially banned?

Some cultures might consider Nationhood to be an “eternal” belonging in the sense that it would not end with the death of the Actor, such that the leaving date might not be inferrable.

The best way to represent the ending of a nation is also unclear. For example, New France could be considered to be a Nation that started with the exploration of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence by Jacques Cartier (Actor Appellation) in 1534 (Nationhood Joining Date Begin). New France ended on February 10, 1763 (Nationhood Leaving Date End) with the Treaty of Paris (which could be a Nationhood Leaving Date End Qualifier although it is in itself an event) after Pierre Fran¡ois de Rigaud, the last French governor-general of New France, surrendered to Britain September 8, 1760 (Nationhood Leaving Date Begin). In this case, would all actors of New France “leave” the Nation and “join” the British nationality? In this case, one way of joining Nationality would have to be through conquest.

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 was formerly titled using a racial description. Only recent scholarship has established the sitter’s name as “Madeleine”, although her last name remains unknown. An Annotation could be placed on its Object Appellations (with “Portrait of Madeleine” as the preferred appellation, “Former title displaying insensitive racial language” Annotation; the former title as a non-preferred appellation, “Now titled Portrait of Madeleine” Annotation; “Portrait d’une femme noire”, non-preferred appellation, “Former title displaying insensitive racial language” Annotation), but a Curatorial Note Content might also be used on the Actor Appellation “Madeleine” (“Sitter in Portrait of Madeleine, former title displaying insensitive racial language with the sitter identified as being named “Madeleine” by Viktoria Schmidt-Linsenhoff”). There are a number of works in collections in Canada that have offensive or otherwise insensitive titles fraught with racist and colonialist terminology. Handling such appellations, and their of precedence, will have to be determined by CHIN. Should such titles be displayed? Should they be non-preferred? Should there be an Object Appellation Type to signal revision (e.g. Revised Titled) with a prompt to generate a note as to why the title was revised?

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

Regarding the “Expected Value” link, Lexvo does not have any browse or search capability for identifying languages; you can keysmash into Lexvo and it will generate a URI for “hsdjkhsdhf” without verifying whether this is a recognized language or not. In order to find language URIs on Lexvo (as opposed to terms in a language), you need to look up by ISO-639 code. The ISO-639 Code Tables do not allow any browsing, only free searching, and do not cross-reference to geographic region. So the effort involved in verifying whether languages provided on the FNMIIO spreadsheet are recognized as languages with URIs or have ISO codes is far too much at this stage given that 99.9% of museum data is in English or French.

Typical Case(s) Molly Bobak (Actor Appellation) was a Canadian artist (Occupation Type) who served as Second Lieutenant (Occupation Type) during World War II. She served from November 1942 when she enlisted in the Canadian Women’s Army Corps until the end of the war in September 1945 (Occupation Type “Second Lieutenant”; Occupation Date Begin “1942-11”; Occupation Date End “1946”; Occupation Date End Qualifier “1945-09-02”; Occupation Date End Qualifier “circa”; Occupation Place “Canada”; Occupation Place “Europe”).
Edge Case(s) There might be cases where the Occupation Date End and the Occupation Date End Qualifier would be the same, in particular when it comes to eras. For example, “Victorian Era” can be both the Occupation Date End and the Occupation Date End Qualifier. Determining what eras the qualifiers will entail (through the vocabulary used to handle them) will thus be paramount.

Some important dates in history have alternative names that could be considered to be either alternate appellations or qualifiers, such as 9/11, Victory in Europe Day, D-Day, etc.

Typical Case(s) If the National Gallery of Canada finished creating a record in its database for an object by an unknown artist on August 20th, 2019, the Record Date End will be “2019-08-20”.

Flightstop (Object Appellation; Object Appellation Language “English”; Object Appellation Type “Title”; Object Appellation Preference “Preferred”) is a sculpture (Object Medium and Technique) by artist (Occupation Type) Michael Snow (Actor Appellation), sometimes titled Flight Stop(Object Appellation; Object Appellation Language “English”; Object Appellation Type “Title”; Object Appellation Preference “Non-Preferred”). It has been displayed at the Toronto Eaton Centre (Record Contributor Appellation) since 1979 (Record Date Begin) when it was made and installed.
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 that would refer to periods of the institution’s history such as “under the curatorship of Stéphane Aquin” or “before the museum was instituted”, etc.

It is also debatable whether a record canend since, as long as we have a date, there is still a record where it is documented.

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 are said to 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.
