Variant art work records edit
When a media artwork is in multiple collections, or mulitple versions in a collection exist, we should distinguish variants as described in Rhizome. According to WikiProject Digital and Performative Arts - Provenancial Data there is no exact matching property for 'variant of'.
Other models to model artworks:
- Film structure
- Visual art structure
- Digital arts structure
- Book structure
- Music structure
- Performance theatre structure
- Video games structure
Proposed properties to describe variant relationships between media artworks edit
Rhizome has a property 'variant of'
Note that some properties link a physical to an abstract concept, while other properties interlink physical items.
