A knows B / B knows A?
We would like to offer the greatest variety of contact information.
- We are presently presenting some 9.000 documents with information about senders and the respective receivers
- We are listing some 300 events with information about participants
- We could add specific contact information in the form of "A meets B" statements - we could just as well create items for any known meeting.
How do we organise such information in a way that database queries can offer us contact information with the greatest ease? How do we avoid recursive statements ("Person A meets Person B" - do we have to repeat the statement as "Person B meets Person A", and if so, how do we ensure the congruence)?
How to use the Redirect function?
Merging items creates a redirect. Should we use that redirect to lead to targets?
How should we organise items that are not yet fully consolidated?
We will d´face a particular need to organise unconsolidated personal information and a fuzzy search for them: Documents do often just state last names. We have a place, a year, perhaps an occupation but no further information. We will need a system that gives us hints of potential matches.
