This issue must be documented, it has been created in order to remember to make a decision about it. CHIN is seeking for use cases to determine whether or not we need this ambiguous field.
Currently, CHIN manages the identity using 5 different fields:
Gender
,Nationality
,Cultural Affiliation
,Nationhood
, andCommunity
all with their proper definition. Reading the Cataloguing Cultural Objects (CCO) documentation, it feels like several concepts reside exist underCulture
:What is the best approach for CHIN? Should we limit the number of Identity fields to what we currently have or should we break down those terms and find their specific definition (if it exists). Are there some concepts that we should avoid completely?
Some interesting info might be found on Statistics Canada's website.
