com.cultureblocs.creative.profile

A creative's self-asserted identity. Self-assertion is the normal state, not a deficient one: the record lives in the creative's own repository, which is the claim. Third-party attestation (com.cultureblocs.creative.connection) is an optional overlay some records acquire. This is a join layer, not a registry: externalIds carry ISNI/IPI/ORCID/Auracle/Wikidata and any future scheme so identifiers held elsewhere keep their value here.

Properties

activeIn

array

Where the creative regularly shows, plays or takes work, beyond where they are based: a Brighton-based artist active in London.

  • maxLength: 8
itemsref
Reference

based

ref

Superseded by `basedIn` for new writes. Where the creative is based, at whatever precision they choose to publish. New apps should not write coordinates for a person; readers prefer `basedIn` when both are present.

Reference

basedIn

array

Where the creative lives and works from, as named areas: 'Lewisham', 'Frome', 'Brighton'. Never an address or coordinates. Usually one, sometimes two.

  • maxLength: 3
itemsref
Reference

bio

string
  • maxGraphemes: 2000

createdAt

requiredstring · datetime

When this record was first stamped. The only immutable field: everything else may be revised by publishing a new commit.

disciplines

array

Freeform, e.g. 'sculpture', 'sound design', 'dark goth techno'. No controlled vocabulary by design.

  • maxLength: 8
itemsstring
  • maxGraphemes: 64

externalIds

array

Identity in other systems. A bridge service may later register some of these on the creative's behalf; CultureBlocs does not.

  • maxLength: 20

name

requiredstring

The name to be credited under. One profile per persona; a creative may hold several.

  • maxGraphemes: 300

  • com.cultureblocs.creative.work

    record not from the namespace authority

    A minimal, self-asserted marker: 'I made this' / 'we made this'. Deliberately tiny. It proves that this claim was made on this date by the holder of this repository — nothing more, which is exactly the claim that can honestly be made. Everything else (industry metadata, scene layers, commercial registrations, licensing terms) belongs in other namespaces that REFERENCE this record's URI rather than adding fields to it.

  • inc.toronto.discover.beta.profile

    record

    A Toronto profile entry

  • build.clovernight.identity.profile

    record

    A builder's CloverNight-suite identity, read by CloverNight, WooPulse, and dionis.dev alike. One DID, one profile, portable across the suite. Singleton per repo.

  • pub.byline.profile

    record

    An author's byline.pub profile, signed by and stored in the author's own repository. The repo's DID is the author identity; this record is the byline.pub-specific public profile that extends it, independent of any venue's own profile record. One record per repo (key 'self').
