Illustrates how, when recording an artwork, the artist’s name is selected from the ‘People & Institutions Archive’. This archive provides a list of previously entered persons or organisations with additional information (considering standard data sources) and provides a resource to all parts of the data model. If an entity does not exist there is a corresponding entry procedure to record the structured details of a new entity, be it person or organisation. Each selected person or organisation can be specified with a role (e.g. artist, author, assistant) in relation to each single artwork or element.
