Assumptions about main elements:

Main category: "Dies", e. g. RQEM ad. 485 will be in category "Dies".
There will be no separate category "Collections", but the collection information will be stored with each die.
There will be a category "Literature" with will link to a single literature entry, e. g. Asthon 2007 which will hold all the details about the literature: R. H. J. Ashton, "The pre-Imperial Coinage of Iasos", Numismatic Chronicle 167 (2007), p. 47-78 (catalogue p. 69-71).
For the authority-informtion, we have several options:
- just have the option to add multiple fields "add authority" and then enter two fields (roi, empereru, danystie) and Nomisma link
- Minimal approach: We could also only store: http://nomisma.org/id/alexander_iii - if this is suffidient information
- Maximum approach: If authority is important, we could have each authority entered seperately. This would mean a category "Authorities", with an etry like Alexandre III le Grand where details like Nomisma-Link, title (King Argyade/Temenid), period (336-323 BC) and type (claimed authority) can be entered. In the Coins, you then only need to reference to several authorities, in a field "authorities", wih values like Alexandre III le Grand, Philippe II This is comparable to what we did with the "Persone" database in FINA.
- Is the column "N" in the Die Study database Excel sheet the same as the "Mint" field in the Authorities Excel sheet? If yes, we should also here go for a maximum approach and have a separate category "Mints", wiht an entry like "Aspendos" and the filde "Autorité émettrice/atelier" will on a Die page will hold this value.

Structure

Mainly taken from the Word document examples:

Page title

RQEM ad. 691 - Saitabi (Ibérie), bronze, demi-unité, IIe-Ier siècle avant J.-C. column C

what does "ad" stand for? I thought at first "anno domini", but 691 is not a year, but the numerical ID, right?

External Link: (gallica.bnf.fr) column D
ID (of the database) column A: This means our internal ID Of the SILVER database, right? It will not be identical to column A, but rather an arbitrary numerical ID
URI column B: I guess this means our own URL to the entry in the SILVER Wiki, right?

Titre de la notice (dénomination, métal, autorité, région)

Title of the notice (name, metal, authority, region)

seems to be a title. Is not a nice page title: RQEM ad. 488 - Iasos (Carie), bronze, dichalque ou tetrachalque (?), début ou milieu du IIe siècle avant J.-C.. We can save this title in a field, but we would need to have an idea what will be the name of a page for the coin.

I would suggest only RQEM ad. 488 - will this be suffucient for an uniqu page name?

What das RQEM mean?

What does "notice" mean? Does it mean something like "discovered object" (objet découvert).
