This topic can be linked to that one.
The pressing plant “MPO” has first been entered as a Label. A closer look shows that a lot of relations to it are wrong. These should only be “manufactured by” or “pressed at” relations. Note that contrary to the disambiguation tag, there are no “distributed by” relations.
Now, we can create “pressing plant” Places in MB. So, without having noticed previously the Label, I created this Place for MPO.
In my opinion, the Place fits better than the Label in this case. Do you agree?
I would like to merge the Label into the Place, but that’s not possible. What should I do then?
A label entity for MPO seems appropiate since they’re a company. Your edit notes lack information about how you’re determining the place of manufacture.
This. One advantage of having both Labels and Places for manufacturers is that the Label entity can be used if it cannot reliably be ascertained where a medium was manufactured.
Place of plant is not engraved on CD, just MPO.
One has to thoroughly know MPO’s history to be able to link place, IMO.
Plus, the usage of places is IMO best for artistic events, relationships, performances.
I was going to suggest that maybe a Label-Place relationship needs to be added for these situations, but I see you’re already one step ahead of me STYLE-986: “Owned by” Label-Place relationship
I’m going to re-active this old thread here because I’m confused with the difference between Place>Pressing Plant vs Label>Manufacturer. I was not able to find any help in the documentation. I understand that Places and Labels are different relationship types, that’s clear. But beyond that, aren’t pressing plants simply industries of physical media manufacturing?
