The COVID-19 crisis: A case for unique identifiers and common data models

By Frédéric Julien: “Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many arts service organizations and industry associations have surveyed their members to assess the impact of the crisis. Yet, even though thousands of organizations and cultural workers have been reporting on cancellations and lost gigs, we are still nowhere near to having a complete and accurate overview of the situation. Why is that? Because very few of these surveys are designed with the intent of contributing to painting the full picture.

… How can we give more value to our industry data about events, productions and organizations? And how can this value benefit all stakeholders of the performing arts value value chain?”
