Question #2717
open
Linking successive events which are subevents of other events
Description
Example:
- A manuscript was bought in Istanbul: https://mamems.openatlas.eu/entity/6462
- The buyer took the manuscript with him to Vienna on his return trip: https://mamems.openatlas.eu/entity/1291
- A scholar later wrote notes on the manuscript in Augsburg: https://mamems.openatlas.eu/entity/7294
All three events are linked via tabs to the artifact entry for the manuscript (https://mamems.openatlas.eu/entity/4923), but the acquisition (event 1 above) is a subevent of the person's stay in Istanbul (https://mamems.openatlas.eu/entity/6462), so I cannot indicate the acquisition as the preceding event of the transfer (event 2 above) - the preceding event of the return trip is the traveler's stay in Istanbul. Is it possible to show the three events that form the history of the manuscript as successive events? This would also be important for the presentation website, to highlight the "biography" of the manuscript.

Dear Nicholas,
thank you for the question. I took the liberty to reformat the description for better readability (and because some links were broken).
I'm not sure if I understand the issue because it seems to be possible to "indicate the acquisition as the preceding event of the transfer (event 2 above)" - I just tested it locally.
Did you mean that the issue is, that there can be only one preceding event and you would like to have more possible?

Thank you for your quick reply. I suppose you are right, the main problem appears to be that there can only be one preceding event. Is there a solution to this?
