OAA is an open, portable archive format for original comic art collection data.
Deferred from OAA 1.0
Retain public_metadata.artwork_type as display text. Do not introduce a closed artwork_category base field for OAA 1.0.
Artwork classifications overlap and vary between collections and platforms. The existing display field preserves useful descriptions without imposing an unproven shared taxonomy.
None for OAA 1.0. Implementations may preserve structured artwork classifications in namespaced extensions.
None. A later optional base field may be considered using the base-field design principles, without an implementation-count prerequisite.
artwork_type can retain “Cover prelim” without requiring agreement on whether it belongs to a cover, preliminary-art, or sketch category.
No open question blocks OAA 1.0. A controlled category is deferred pending community consensus and concrete interchange needs.
