Suggestion > Types > Indexation

Maria Alc

Hi! I would like to propose of a new fields already exist in the module of "mints": "indexation".

In our case, it is usefull because we can relate some labels in a coin type. For example, include 1º tetrarchy if the emission or second... It would be easierr for us to filter the types, for example, and to include another information relate with the characteristics type (big bust, smaller bust...)

However, we don't have it active in numisdata (it isn't active in module of mints) but I know how it works in wondercoins.

It is possible to use in types?

Thank you

So, do you want to include "indexation" field in "types"? I think it is a good idea, but for including information as "big bust" or "smaller bust" I would include a field for the iconography tree in the thesaurus.

Thank you for the suggestion Elena! I think in Wondercoins it's working the iconography tree in the thesaurus, but not in numisdata.

But the principal objetive would be above all to include which periodisation it belongs to in the tetrarchy.

Thank you, best

So maybe is more interesting including an especific field for Period? I agree this is more than needed, because sometimes is very difficult to describe a datation with numbers, as you all know.
At this point, I ask for a field for Period in types too.
Thanks Maria for the suggestion.

elena because sometimes is very difficult to describe a datation with numbers, as you all know.

Including a link to the Period thesaurus can be ok and it make sense, BUT it does not eliminate the obligation to express the period as numerical dates. Therefore, the period descriptor in the thesaurus must include its own Time frame representation. For example:

First century BC = 1/1/-1<>31/12/-1
OR
First quarter of 20th century = 01/01/1901<>31/12/1925

And this is NOT optional...
