So, presuming ARs are the way forward, and disambiguation of works is the issue that needs resolution, to reach a consensus on how to disambiguate works, I'd like to survey the style council with the following questions:
Q1. Should a work be disambiguated via composer/lyricist/librettist, via recording artist, or by work comment? Q2. What is your rationale for this? Q3. If consensus is that a work should be disambiguated using the recording artist, which artist should be displayed? (First recording, "most popular" recording, last recording, other?) Q4. If consensus is that a work should be disambiguated using recording artist, what should be displayed for works that have no recordings? Q5. If you answered Q1 not to disambiguate via composer/lyricist/librettist, under what circumstances would you accept such a method? Q6. If you answered Q1 not to disambiguate via recording artist, under what circumstances would you accept such a method? Q7. If you answered Q1 not to disambiguate via work comment, under what circumstances would you accept such a method? Many thanks to everyone who is participating in this process.
