OAA is an open, portable archive format for original comic art collection data.
Deferred from OAA 1.0
Retain public_metadata.media as display text. Do not introduce a closed media_category base field for OAA 1.0.
A shared classification needs community agreement on mixed media, overlapping techniques, and terminology. Display text already preserves the collector’s description without requiring that agreement.
None for OAA 1.0. Implementations may preserve structured media classifications in namespaced extensions.
None. A later optional base field may be considered using the base-field design principles, without an implementation-count prerequisite.
media can retain a description such as “Ink and watercolor on paper” without mapping it to a single category.
No open question blocks OAA 1.0. A controlled category is deferred pending community consensus and demonstrated unmet classification needs.
