Questions

Note that it is better to place discussion points inline, as sub-bullets, than to put them in comments where the context and flow is harder to reconstruct.

• We need to clarify how much information is modeled as Location over time, and just what information is needed for the Movement as such:
  • Does this capture the details of Transport (e.g., to note a transport company and their shipment information), or is that separate?
  • We expect that there will be Insurance information tied to a Loan, but will there also be separate information tied to Transport/Movement?

• What is the scope of a Movement that will be modeled by this service? Which of the following does it encompass?
  • Exhibitions.
  • Loans for exhibitions
  • Other loans.
  • Conservation activities.
  • Changes of location within
  the
  • a museum.

• Is the Movement Service a hybrid of a task service and an entity service? Does a calling application need to orchestrate the act of a movement, such as setting a new object Location, by calling multiple services (including this one), or does the act of creating a Movement entity also trigger a Location change? (This general question may also apply to Exhibition, Loan, and similar services.)

• How should in-transit states, such as the transportation of a physical collections object via a postal or delivery service, or a courier, reflected in Movement and related services? (This may also include the need to reflect paperwork or electronic documentation related to the transportation in a Documentation service.)
