Addressphysical or postal address. These can be used on the Associations Tab to further document person records with no organizational affiliation (e.g. donors) or collaborations (e.g. movements).FMNHField is reliant on keeping this as a record type. What is the protocol for its use? Is it used for all addresses? Is the Address tab in the Parties module never used?
3
AttributionBRAND NEW?Do attributions need to be separate from other 'one liners' such as verbatim transcriptions?
4
Collaborationmore than one individual working together AGSAThe Collaboration record type exists to attach parties to each other. What happens in searching? How is the Summary Data constructed? What's the diivding line between a collaboration and a group?
5
Collaborationmore than one individual working together (e.g. field team, expedition field crew, etc.)FMNHAus Mus records multiple Participants in Collection Events. Does that mean they've customised it? Sometimes the Participant is a group, such as 'UNSW Volunteers' or '1972 Pacific Expedition Team'. If there is a new party type called Group, and group membership is handled on the Associations tab, is it necessary to use Collaboration for anything other than a cooperative effort that doesn't have its own name?

8
Collaborationan art collaboration is defined as the process of two or more artists working together to create a work of artNGAHow is the Summary Data constructed? Is it true that the Collaboration party type is only needed when it's necessary to fuse two or more names into one data element that doesn't allow for multiple values?
9
Collaborationused to group two or more Parties that work together with a common purpose or task. Before a Collaboration record can be created, all members of the Collaboration must first have individual Parties records in the Parties module

14
Cultural Group a party type specific to Anthropology to handle records which capture different terms associated with a particular group.FMNHThere was to be a subcommittee looking at data issues for indigenous cultures in EMu Parties. What were the results?
15
CultureUsed for anthropological records to capture culture names and groupsNMNHThis would be Party Type = Group and Group Type = Culture
16
Data Source used to document sources of information that are not a person or an organization, such as a catalog card or a significant data-related project.NMAIThis party type answers the question 'says who?' The answer could be a person, an organisation, or a document. The reason it was needed is because a data source can be something that is not a person or group of people. What is the difference between this and a bibliographic reference? Where are Data Source parties used in other modules?
17
Estateestate of an individual; associated with the individual but clear that it is the Estate we should contactUSHMMHow does this work when searching for items donated by Jane Doe? You enter 'Jane Doe' in the Accessions Source field, and two matches come up: Jane Doe and Estate of Jane Doe. At that point you can choose whether to search for one or the other or both?
18
EthnicityUsed for physical anthropology instead of Culture (may be phased out)NMNHThere are many terms that signify cultural groupings. The idea of a Cultural Group party type is that a record of this type can be attached to a person's Parties record to indicate that they are a member of a cultural group. The terms ethnicity, nationality, family, whānau, tribe, clan, mob, people, nation, language group and dialect each indicate groups to which a person could belong. Would it be useful for these terms to be in a drop-down for 'Group type'? I have some memory that for NMAI, there is a hierarchical relationship between group types?
19
Familywhen it isn't clear who from a family is a contributor from a cataloging standpointUSHMMOr when a family acts as a group, e.g. "Donated by the McDermott family, 1977"

Historical Figurean individual that is well known and not directly connected to our institutionUSHMMIs there an existing controlled vocabulary to which this connects? It's probably a point where you will want linked data?

IMA StaffRecord for staff member, with sparse infoNewfieldsOn Staff: Each institution records staff members as Parties so that actions they take on the collection or the data can be recorded in EMu, e.g. conservation treatment, object movement. These actions should probably be restricted to staff members, but that will happen in the real world, and therefore may not need to be done in the data. The problem with staff is that a person's identity remains the same even if their job changes. There is more than one method in the client community for recording what company someone is currently working for, and what company someone has previously worked for. This has a similar problem or the same problem as address history.

OrganisationUsed to record an organised group of one or more people with a particular purpose such as a business, institution, association, government department or part of an organisational structure (branch, team, etc.).

Organisation StringTo cater for transcription of strings which have yet to be (or cannot be) related to any known physical organisation.NHMTranscription string - can this be a field on the first tab in every Party Type? It gives an alternative way of recording data, and a given Parties record can be re-documented to fill in the other fields, or to merge with an existing Parties record.
