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
