Dear all,
Is anyone linking records in TMS for works, in this case, photographs with unidentified sitters/models that have the same unidentified model in another photograph? The other relationship is for photographs that are related through successive frames/captured at the same time.
Many thanks

Alexis,
With Parent-Child relationships, I try to make the terminology of the parts parallel:
Set - Part of a Set
Framed Artwork - Frame
Ensemble - Part of an Ensemble
Displays like this in TMS:
Ensemble
Framed Artwork
Set
-------------
Frame
Part of an Ensemble
Part of a Set
In my experience, even when you have clearly defined relationships written up, people don't always reference them, so making the relationship labels mirror one another helps to clarify their relationships with one another.

Oh, and I haven't been using the Group Completeness. I started to with the Constituent relationships, but it seemed like everything would be incomplete so it wouldn't be all that useful. And given the type of Object-Object relationships we are now doing it didn't seem relevant.

I would be interested in what others are doing as well. We use the linking primarily in the Constituents module for actual family relationships between constituents, such as:
Ancestor - Descendant
Aunt - Nephew
Aunt - Niece
Business - Business
Father - Daughter
Father - Son
...and so on. (Family relationships between Constituents are very useful considering the types of collections we have.)
For Objects we previously had a Parent/Child linking structure set up just as
Related Object - Related Object,
but I've been working on changing those to a See Also link just as Object - Object since the objects aren't really related in a Parent/Child structure, but just as something that relates to another object in the collection on an equal level. I would like to expand the See Also links, as I think they could be useful, so any ideas are welcome, along with seeing what others are doing with the Parent/Child for objects.
Diane.

Subject: Linking Object Records
Hello,
I've recently been rethinking the linking structure between object records in our TMS and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share the list of relationships they are currently using? I'm interested mainly in the language being used and how specific other users are being with their links. I'm also curious to know if anyone is making use of the "Group Info/Completeness" section of the Association Assistant (setting the links to "complete", "incomplete", "not relevant" or "mixed")?
Any examples would be appreciated. Thanks
Alexis Lenk
