Having said that, I think the concept of using tags is OK as long as the problem domain covers MY library and for MY own display/search purposes only. Therefore when these folks upload their tags based on their own rules, even assuming they all use the "correct" tags to store the contents, you will still see inconsistencies in the contents. And if this set of rules is shown to ten persons, most likely all ten will disagree on some parts of the rules. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra" or "Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra"? Need another rule for using different names to refer to the same orchestra depending on, um, the recording date? Or just use the latest name? Whatever the choice, there will always be more rules to deal with new situations.Įventually one may end up with a complex set of rules. OK, how about "New York Philharmonic Orchestra" or "New York Philharmonic"? Same language you see!Īnother one. One may then end up defining a rule like - if the orchestra's regional language uses Roman letters then use the regional language, e.g. Use your native language? If so what about "Les Siècles" (unless French is your native language)? Use the orchestra's regional language? Then what about a Russian orchestra or a Japanese orchestra? E.g.ĭo you enter into a PERFORMER or whatever tag "Berliner Philharmoniker" or "Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra"?
The content itself does not have the "uniqueness" characteristic to ensure consistency. I particularly don't think tags will work from a content point of view.
Leaving aside the question of which tags to use. apart from not having a widely accepted standard for classical music, as long as human beings are involved, which tags to use and the contents of tags will never be consistent.
