Coverage & research gaps (7)

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.

  • Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
  • Release details: 5 / 5 · Profile fields recorded: artists, label, media, released, catalogue_number. Missing fields may require research or an applicability note.
  • tracks evidence: 5 / 5 · Recorded rows linked to source evidence; does not measure whether the list is complete
  • Context: 1 / 2 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
  • Label photographs: 0 / 1 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
  • Specifications: 1 / 13 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
  • identity · disputed: Release date differs by source: Deutsche Grammophon gives June 3, 2002; MusicBrainz 2002-08-13 (Germany); World of Books 2002-08-12; Discogs only 2002 (Europe). The Release field keeps the year.
  • identity · disputed: The eBay Australia catalogue record gives Country/Region of Manufacture as Japan, but Discogs transcribes "Made in the E.U." and the mould text "MADE IN GERMANY BY UNIVERSAL M & L"; the disc transcription is followed.
  • media · disputed: Discogs transcribes the ℗ line as covering tracks "3 to 6" on a five-track disc and spells "Deutsche Grammophone GmbH"; the typo is corrected here, the track range is kept as transcribed.
  • relationships · unknown: No public source names the GS1 licensee of prefix 0028947; the gs1_prefix_owner edge is derived from Deutsche Grammophon listing the UPC.
  • images · unknown: No openly licensed cover photo found; the Deutsche Grammophon and Discogs images carry no reuse licence.
  • schema · schema_gap: Review and assign legacy facts to coherent observations.
