Hi all,
we are building our list of roles as we work and haven't distinguished between departments nor have we decided on a display order. Franz, I like your thought about the Artist role, it's true, it is rather imprecise and that has bothered me a bit. I'm thinking maybe we should consider not using it.
Here is what our list of roles looks like at present:
(Translated into English and with my explanations in parenthesis.)

Artist
Author (of texts, books etc.)
Depicted (in photos)
Model
Originator
Portrayed (in artworks)
Photographer
Printer
Printer, probable
Producer
Producer, probable
Recipient (of letters)
Recipient, probable (of letters)
Sender (of letters)
Translator

We've decided to mark uncertainty in the roles. In our previous system we had no real constituents list, and people marked uncertainty with '(?)' behind the name of the constituent, but that doesn't work very well when you want to work with a proper list of constituents with one entry pr constituent.
I suppose you need to have the roles your material requires, and I know we will need more roles (and probably modiy some of the ones we've already defined) when we continue working with our collection.

Best, Hilde
