In TMS, I want to start consistently capturing designations used in our
Americas department such as Mesoamerica, Andes, Caribbean, etc.  These
terms are both geographic and stylistic.  I'm looking at using either
the geography fields (which are free-text), Attributes, or possibly
object-related constituents.  [Object-related constituents are currently
being used by my Museum for both cultures (such as Aztec) and dynasties
(such as Ming)].  I think any of these choices may work, but wanted to
hear how others have captured/cataloged terms like Mesoamerica and
Andes.  Any ideas are much appreciated.  

 

Thank you,

 

Ella
