I know this is a double post, but an idea I’ve had bouncing around my brain (or should I say, Brainz ) for several months is DataBrainz. the idea is similar to Wikidata, insomuch as it would collect data about different entities among the different Brainz; social links, name, and most importantly replacing links to all other Brainz with a single central link. for example, how we’ve got BookBrainz editions and MusicBrainz releases for the same audiobook. the same with many BookBrainz authors and MusicBrainz artists.
it might not be super useful at the moment, as there’s only two main databases of things (BookBrainz and MusicBrainz), meaning we can just link them both together. however, if we start getting more Brainz off the ground, it could get pretty crazy having a BookBrainz author, MusicBrainz artist, ArtBrainz artist, VideoBrainz director, and a GameBrainz developer for the same person and hoping whoever added each knows how to find and link all of them
perhaps it could also show data from all the various Brainz projects? all a persons’/groups’ release groups/edition groups/etc.? just an idea~
that or we could try and convince the Wikidata people to allow entries for more obscure entities? (only mostly kidding)
I posted this kind of related as it is my fantasy for brainz
Tag videos with apparel in ApparelBrainz. Tag plants with plants from PlantBrainz. Tag Antiques with items in AntiqueBrainz?? And not just music videos. Tag movies that are stored in MovieBrainz!
Items in each brainz would likely already be described as I desired through various relationships… then just tag videos with them. I like this topic. Need brainz for everything! All interlinked! Interlinked Brainz
Also did anyone suggest CarBrainz yet? I feel like that would be super popular. I’m not a car nut myself, but there are so many of them. Track cars, and after market parts? Make a collection of your car and it’s modifications.
Oh, and PlantBrainz should have a site to go with it, HarvestBrainz. Instead of listening history you track your gardens harvest history That way I can learn what varieties of veggies grow best in my garden!
I feel like I’ve seen that somewhere, yea… would be handy to document what “universal” parts and accessories don’t actually fit which car, in my mind. for example, since my car has weird air vents, most vent-mounted accessories don’t fit
Opening it up to more ‘tracking’ sites opens up a whole new avenue. Once I get RFID tags into all my socks SockBrainz can finally track all my socks wearing data, as god intended!
ChatBrainz discussion has made me revive this thread: RecipeBrainz! Instead of instruments you have ingredients and/or items needed to prepare it(bowl, stove, microwave, etc). Places of origin. Being able to find all variations of recipes. Could be wonderful! Imagine what you could do with that info. Find all recipes I can make with my Air Fryer. Or smart playlists where I input what kitchen tools/ingredients I have available and it gives me things to make. A ListenBrainz type site to track food I made/ate.
