People Tags - a practical question
 
|
I am just starting to add people tags and immediately it raises a
practical question. Many of the females have married and so changed their names. How do you guys deal with this? My current thought is to tag as Mary Smith(Jones), so Mary Jones is tagged as such until she gets married, then I edit the tag to be Mary Smith(Jones) so she would then have that tag on all pictures, past and future. I guess this becomes a bit cumbersome when someone is married multiple times, but luckily I don't have that problem, at least not at the moment:) Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks Mick _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Once they get married however, create a new separate tag for their married name. So a woman that is married several times would have a maiden name tag that is consistent over her life and a married name tag for the period they are known by each subsequents husband's surname (if that is the cultural norm). -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper - Open Content Creator Free and Open Source Software Workflow Guides ------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction http://www.fossworkflowguides.com GIS Packages http://www.fossworkflowguides.com/gis bash / Python http://www.fossworkflowguides.com/scripting _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Simon, that is a brilliant way to handle a difficult tagging problem!

So in my example I would have early pics with her tagged as Mary Jones,
then married pics with her tagged Mary Jones and Mary Smith?

Yep, and if she divorced Mr. Smith and remarried Mr. Sulley then the pics with her at that time would be tagged Mary Jones and Mary Sulley. If perchance polyandry is culturally accepted and she is married to Mr. Smith and Mr. Sulley at the same time, then all three tags would be set. > > On 19/02/13 22:27, Simon Cropper wrote: >> On 20/02/13 09:11, Mick Sulley wrote: >>> I am just starting to add people tags and immediately it raises a >>> practical question.

In that case you would get Elizabeth Taylor(Burton 1) and Elizabeth Taylor(Burton 2) ! Or, as in TV series, Season 1 and Season 2. I am joking :-) The suggestion from Peter, using subtags, looks quite fair.

A person has one and only one birth name, but can get married or divorced several times. And this tags model allows each tag to have several subtags, but each subtag has one and only one parent tag. Perhaps it could be interesting to swap first name and name, e.g. Person/Smith/Mary Person/Smith/Mary/Jones Person/Smith/Mary/Copper etc. The day you add Mary's brother, Person/Smith/Peter Your ancestor tag Person/Smith reflects also the Smith family.

Thankfully I don't have any pictures of Elizabeth Taylor:)
I do have a desire to somehow link all this in to my genealogy database, which I keep on my local sever with geneweb. No idea how to do it yet, needs further thought!

Hi,
I'm new on the list, while following it for a while and using DK for years. Thanks all involved!

I have been looking into exposing the metadata via FUSE; that is: tried to find out what has been done before. I don't have my notes at hand. From my bare, momentarily hazy memory: someone made it possible via a mono-binding, but the project is not active anymore and someone in the chain cleaned up his university page, leaving no trace of code.
My goal was to use it in combination with minidlna, so that I could (finally) browse my images by tag on the television. I imagine your genealogy database could do something with file/directory-structures as well.
There I remember it again: digikamfs, preceeded by digikamtags:/ https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-users/2006-September/002027.html
