map institution to Group

[VladimirAlexiev]

http://data.americanartcollaborative.org/page/aaa/institution/2711 a crm:E39_Actor.
However, that class is not specific enough since you know it's an institution and NOT a person.
Please map to crm:E74_Group
(the name "institution" even suggests crm:E40_Legal_Body, but you should examine the data to check whether all of these look like incorporated institutions)

Similarly for http://data.americanartcollaborative.org/page/aaa/person/166: map that to crm:E21_Person

Vladimir -- I had previously requested this (applying entity E74 for institutions), and for specificity, suggested applying a classified by property of AAT:300386361 (corporate bodies). Does that approach make sense?

Thanks!

I think crm:E40_Legal_Body is enough (but are we sure all your institutions are incorporated? No informa artist groups or collectives?)

[tobiashreiter]

They're definitely not all incorporated. However, MARC classifies all groups (except for families) as corporate names. This is why I recommended corporate bodies as the AAT term for classification. I think, if we decide to use an AAT term, organizations (groups) (AAT:300025948) might be better.

However, I am fine with just using E74 (group) as the entity definition, since that is the most appropriate classification for all of our institutions.

We ended up not doing this. Leaving this open, just in case we decide we do want to change this.
