OAA is an open, portable archive format for original comic art collection data.
Deferred from OAA 1.0
Retain artist credit role as display text. Do not introduce a closed role field for OAA 1.0.
Credits may describe combined, specialized, or historically specific contributions. A controlled vocabulary needs shared implementation experience before it can replace or supplement those descriptions.
None for OAA 1.0. Existing artist credit objects remain available, and implementations may preserve structured role classifications in namespaced extensions.
None. A later optional controlled field may be considered using the base-field design principles, without an implementation-count prerequisite.
A credit can retain the role “Pencils and inks” without splitting it into invented controlled values.
No open question blocks OAA 1.0. Reconsider controlled roles when demonstrated unmet credit-interchange needs and community consensus justify a shared model, including how combined contributions should be represented.
