Agents cannot have multiple relationships with another agent #3918
Comments
I have these long running lists of jobs/positions for students in Agent Remarks. It might be nice to be able to sort through them in a more controlled fashion. |
We should not allow duplicates, but we should also not consider things with different dates to be duplicates. That's probably somewhat tricky to index given the two NULLable values. Agreed that status is a poor substitute, and remarks are worse. (~half of all recent agent remarks are misplaced addresses and/or relationships, plus some names and such!) https://handbook.arctosdb.org/documentation/agent.html#creating--maintaining-agents I'll see what I can figure out with the indexes, and The Community should review - well, I have no idea, how new operators are introduced to documentation or something maybe??

I'm trying to wrap my head around this: We should not allow duplicates,
but we should also not consider things with different dates to be
duplicates.
One of the issues we face is the same individual who goes in and out of
operator status at different times, and has different permissions as an
operator to different collections at different times.
Currently we are advised to never remove operator status from an agent's
permissions, which makes no sense to me under these conditions.
The only alternative I see is to allow a single agent to have multiple
operator logins or usernames, with different permissions granted to each.
Or, we allow the same person to have multiple agent profiles, each with
different operator permissions - and that defeats the purpose of having a
standardized agent table, unless we can provide a way to link agents under
"same individual as" relationships.

From website: The Calista Elders Council (CEC) is a non-profit organization representing the 1,300 Yup'ik tradition bearers of the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta in southwest Alaska. It is the major research organization for the region, including a population of more than 20,000, and is active in documenting the traditional knowledge of the Yup'ik people. CEC was established in 1991 as a non-profit organization by Calista (the profit corporation for the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta).

UAM Ethnology & History; Otis Ahkivgak was born in 1891 in Wainwright, Alaska, but lived along the northern Beaufort Sea coast. Typical of Inupiaq families at that time, they moved around a lot following the seasons and available food sources. Starting in 1902, after a measles epidemic, the family spent winters at Flaxman Island. Otis grew up hunting for caribou, seals, and polar bear, setting nets for fish, reindeer herding, and trapping foxes. Otis whaled with Taaqpak at Cross Island, and married his daughter, Mary. They moved to Barrow, Alaska about 1938. Otis loved to go whaling and considered Taaqpak his great teacher. From a lifetime of subsistence activity, Otis developed a great knowledge of the ice conditions both along the Beaufort Sea coastline and around Barrow. Eventually, Otis took over Taaqpak’s whaling crew as Taaqpak became too old to keep whaling. The Ahkivgak Crew continues to whale in Barrow. After Mary Ahkivgak died, Otis married Olive. Otis Ahkivgak died December 24, 1980; he was 89 years old.

(Barrow, AK: North Slope Borough, Commission on History and Culture, 1980).

Unrelated to this issue. |
Cultural collections regularly use the remarks field to deposit biographical summaries, which might include duplicate information that is extracted and placed into relationships or other fields below, including dob & dod. It's a much nicer way to demonstrate the distinction between two individuals who might have the same name. It might be easier to list these multiple jobs, etc. if the remarks field could use mark down, like the projects summary box (particularly the paragraph function). It would allow long biographical summaries to be more easily read in the agent summary page, plus it could allow for lists of jobs under the same institution. Just a thought and something I think I've asked for in the past. (See example listed here: https://arctos.database.museum/agents.cfm?agent_id=21334327) |
@AJLinn I think that deserves it's own issue! |
A nice summary of duplicate info is definitely not a problem, but some of this sorta sounds like a request for UI updates?? If we ever wanted to DO anything with place-data, the "address" (Wainwright, Alaska) in status remarks would not be available. (That might even mean some structure's not quite right??)
https://arctos.database.museum/info/ctDocumentation.cfm?table=ctagent_relationship#not_the_same_as is a completely unambiguous way to do that. #1508 looks like it could use a poke. |
Yup, and I know I've done that on at least a handful (of course I can't find any now). |
Yea, that's what I was starting to understand above.
might be better as
er sumthin. What we have now works just fine for "don't mail me there" but not so great for more agent history type things. |
There is also a home address |
None of the address fields really feel appropriate for just indicating the community/-ies an individual lived at. Do those mailing/shipping addresses show up in the agent summary page for the public view? |
Sounds like "home" to me, but still no strong feelings. The docs should be updated if we go there (and maybe if we don't) - maybe that's what's pushing data towards remarks.
https://www.geo-locate.org/web/WebGeoref.aspx is a good place to figure out what's useful (for machines, and that's at least part of the reason you might want to use address instead of remarks). "Metlakatla" doesn't do anything very interesting, but "Metlakatla, Alaska" does. #2657 - not sure where that's going to end up, but if geolocate can figure it out then other things will probably be able to as well.
Nope.
https://arctos.database.museum/info/ctDocumentation.cfm?table=ctaddress_type should be updated to reflect that. |
Done |
https://arctos.database.museum/guid/ALMNH:Geo:20 makes me want to include agent remarks on catalog record pages.... |
Instead - how about she gets highlighted on Twitter - https://arctos.database.museum/agent/21332181 or maybe gets some kind of "Hey check this out" next to her name? |
Cool to somehow connect this to taxonomy? |
@dustymc I think what you are getting at here - #3918 (comment) |
I'm guessing that's a whole lot of work for very little benefit, but I don't think it's completely off the table either. We could definitely exploit more existing connections - "made count-by-some-taxon-rank IDs" or similar should be relatively straightforward, for example.
Something like that, although overly simple implementations would lead to fun things like inverted time and functional values "not yet" and "we refuse to say" - so probably not exactly that. Issue, should anyone want to explore.... |
Table reindexed, data cleaned up, better checks implemented. |
I was just working on a person who has been employed multiple times at an organization or held multiple titles there. I cannot record anything but the first period of employment because we don't allow duplicate relationships. I think we should. People definitely have multiple periodic associations with each other and with organizations. Can we get rid of this constraint?
Someone has tried getting around this by using "status", but this is a poor substitute for multiple relationships.
