I suspect art cataloging has a very specific taxonomy, or even deliberate examples of flaunting taxonomy for artistic reasons.
Normalization risks equating Prince and the artist formerly known as Prince, which is a worse picture of reality for a lot of purposes.
- d--b 11y agoI understand it is impossible to make these things fit in a proper relational model. For instance, modeling dates when artworks are made circa a date, between 2 dates, started by someone and finished by someone else, is very complex. That said, they should at least try. Being able to sort artworks by date seems pretty fundamental to me! Look at the data released by the Cooper-Hewitt that someone posted below. They actually have some kind of structure!
