Re: Agreeing on archives proposal

Hi all,

From my point of view, Owen’s proposal is a useful way to remove the issues with lack of consistency around single/multiple items. 

I’ve run through the examples, and it all works for us on the Archives Hub. 

The one thing I’ve realised is that we probably can’t take advantage of ‘creator’ anyway, because that requires identifying person or organisation, and most of the time that isn’t done. But that’s just down to our data…. We can use the ‘About’ type to put the index terms into the markup, which is the main thing for discoverability. 

cheers
Jane
