Description

Wiki Markup
{multi-excerpt:name=brief-description}Describes an entity for a concept, with structure among concepts.
{multi-excerpt}

We will want to associate concepts with different attributes of objects and procedures.

Also need to describe:

  • The hierarchic nature of Concepts

Assumptions

  • Concepts can have a default generic use of concepts or terms (providing a flat namespace). 
  • However, Concept is designed to allow multiple instances to provide more specific namespaces (e.g., material, technique, culture).
  • The initial version will allow for a single term per Concept record for version 2.3 of CollectionSpace.  Refactoring of authorities to support preferred/non-preferred term will allow variants of terms to be supported.
