Film: Production credit, Executive versus the rest

2009-11-11T21:52:01.0000Z

Well, that's pretty true. Thinking about it further, it does seem that an executive producer in film is a completely different sort of role than the other various types of producers (despite the similiarity of names), so creating a new property makes sense. Next question: should it expect the existing Film Producer type or a new Film Executive Producer type?

The Wachowski brothers: Brother Co-directors

This clearly shouldn't be a Person, but I'd hate to see it go away altogether because the Wachoski Bros are a well known entity. It should be typed as some kind of Group or Set which includes the two people.

The suggestion on the data modeling list was to type things like this using List, but that has the unfortunate side effect of causes references to redirect to the communist (err, Socialist) domain and there's no indication of when that bug will be fixed.

I think the break would be pretty catastrophic given how many apps are built on Film now.

I would strongly prefer a new property over mediating the Producer relationship.

I prefer inserting the mediator, although it's a breaky change. It would bring film into line with TV shows, though: TV Producer term

Film: Production credit, Executive versus the rest

I believe it may be advantageous to separate out the role of an Executive Producer from that of the Producer (and Assistant/Associated Producer).

We could do it simply with a new property for Executive produced by, example on sandbox, that points to Film producer. Regular production and associated/assistant production would remain with original property.

(Better might be inserting a mediator between Produced by and Film Producer, with enumerated topics for Executive, Associate, Assistant, and blank for the regular credit.)

Any objections? Improvements?

there are two films - this one is the 2007 short and the other the 2009 feature. Same director. I'll enter the details to distinguish them...

Maurice Sendak: sexuality metadata

Celebrity includes a link to a (time-moderated) sexual orientation.

Maurice Sendak: sexuality metadata

I was looking into how to tag folks such as Maurice that self-identify as gay...

Are there any Sexuality / Personal Identity data types that I should know about?

Otherwise the Person type comes across as kind of, well, semantically heteronormative.

This topic should be split instead of deleted, moving the IMDB keys and any other important information.

I am pretty sure that Carson McCullers did not write about a BeBe and CeCe Winans album.
