      • nikki
        yes
      • 2011-09-07 25013, 2011

      • jessew
        well, this is on the wiki, so it should use the wiki term, then, no? ;-)
      • 2011-09-07 25032, 2011

      • jessew
        feel free to change it
      • 2011-09-07 25035, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Or we could kill the term in the wiki, adapt to the page and be coherent
      • 2011-09-07 25036, 2011

      • reosarevok
        :p
      • 2011-09-07 25038, 2011

      • nikki
        well there's also pages in the wiki that call them "relationships" :P
      • 2011-09-07 25049, 2011

      • jessew
        reosarevok: yeah, that would be nice.
      • 2011-09-07 25020, 2011

      • reosarevok is 17 performance relationships away from finishing adding the Artek catalog :)
      • 2011-09-07 25021, 2011

      • nikki
        like http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Category:Relationship… is not "Category:Advanced_Relationship_Type" (and I didn't create it, so it's not just me :D)
      • 2011-09-07 25038, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop has always known them as 'advanced relationships', no matter what the various sites called them :/
      • 2011-09-07 25056, 2011

      • jessew
        hm. we do seem to have a problem here.
      • 2011-09-07 25008, 2011

      • nikki
        kepstin: and what are relationships?
      • 2011-09-07 25029, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        nikki: advanced relationships being done by a lazy typist ;)
      • 2011-09-07 25040, 2011

      • jessew
        the advantage to Advanced Relationship (and it's acronym, AR) is it's somewhat more distinctive than the other two alteratives...
      • 2011-09-07 25049, 2011

      • nikki
        kepstin-laptop: nah, lazy people write "ARs" :P
      • 2011-09-07 25059, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        well, true.
      • 2011-09-07 25029, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        but yeah; relationships just seems like too general of a term.
      • 2011-09-07 25036, 2011

      • ehrgeiz
        why are some works duplicated on the artists worklist-page? i just dont see a difference between works that are listed under 'composer' and works that are not in a special 'category'
      • 2011-09-07 25058, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        ehrgeiz: works that aren't in a special category are ones that were performed by that artist.
      • 2011-09-07 25001, 2011

      • reosarevok
        That
      • 2011-09-07 25003, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        they really should be labelled as such :/
      • 2011-09-07 25015, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Which, following CSG, are all of them for classical composers
      • 2011-09-07 25018, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Thus the duplication
      • 2011-09-07 25013, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        hmm. I guess performed is the wrong work
      • 2011-09-07 25039, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        the works that aren't in a special category is the ones that have that artist listed in the artist credit on at least one recording of the work.
      • 2011-09-07 25044, 2011

      • jessew
        now our terminological confusion is at least documented: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Advanced_Relationship…
      • 2011-09-07 25017, 2011

      • jessew
        so, about AR attributes...
      • 2011-09-07 25040, 2011

      • nikki
        jessew: btw, modpending is actually edits_pending in the database. it seems the diagram needs updating
      • 2011-09-07 25008, 2011

      • jessew
        argh.
      • 2011-09-07 25012, 2011

      • jessew
        Good to know.
      • 2011-09-07 25027, 2011

      • nikki
        link_type and l_*_* also have a last_updated column, link has a created column
      • 2011-09-07 25039, 2011

      • jessew
        nikki: modpending (or edits_pending) -- is my description of what it *does* accurate?
      • 2011-09-07 25021, 2011

      • ehrgeiz
        oh-kay.. so works from pop releases where the composer and lyricist is not the 'known' performing artist will still be listed under the artists workpage; thats the purpose of this i guess?
      • 2011-09-07 25036, 2011

      • nikki
        jessew: it's actually a count of the open edits, so not quite a flag
      • 2011-09-07 25036, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        ehrgeiz: exactly.
      • 2011-09-07 25050, 2011

      • jessew
        nikki: I'll correct that.
      • 2011-09-07 25008, 2011

      • reosarevok
        So wait, are we getting stuff documented?
      • 2011-09-07 25010, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Correctly?
      • 2011-09-07 25014, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        ehrgeiz: this is particularly useful for songs performed by a band, but written by members of the bad.
      • 2011-09-07 25015, 2011

      • reosarevok
        mind=blown
      • 2011-09-07 25017, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        band*
      • 2011-09-07 25033, 2011

      • nikki
        reosarevok: feel free to help :P
      • 2011-09-07 25000, 2011

      • jessew
        reosarevok: well, I wouldn't go so far as to claim *correctness* -- but I hope I'm being at least pleasently imaginative...
      • 2011-09-07 25039, 2011

      • ehrgeiz
        kepstin-laptop: makes sense now, thx. one more reason to change artist credits from composer to performer on recordings.
      • 2011-09-07 25049, 2011

      • ehrgeiz
        for classical
      • 2011-09-07 25050, 2011

      • reosarevok agrees
      • 2011-09-07 25006, 2011

      • jessew
        is Lukas (the guy who made the diagram) still around -- does he have the graphviz source available?
      • 2011-09-07 25019, 2011

      • nikki prods luks
      • 2011-09-07 25029, 2011

      • nikki
        I think it's actually some program he wrote himself
      • 2011-09-07 25043, 2011

      • jessew
        hah.
      • 2011-09-07 25057, 2011

      • jessew
        luks: please do update the diagram
      • 2011-09-07 25027, 2011

      • jessew
        nikki: so, what is the link_attribute table do, exactly?
      • 2011-09-07 25021, 2011

      • nikki
        relationships can have multiple attributes. so guest performed violin would have one row in 'link' and two rows in 'link_attribute'
      • 2011-09-07 25028, 2011

      • jessew
        I should really just download a copy of the database and poke around myself...
      • 2011-09-07 25049, 2011

      • nikki
        that's how I learnt everything I know about it :)
