Entities

Scope

Individuals, groups, or other named bodies are classified as Entities. Tiny Visions collects data for all known entities related to the existence of a music video.

Versions

Multiple versions of an entity can exist. To be counted as a version, an entity must:

have undergone a name change
identify as the same project

Shihad: Artist name used from 1998–2001, 2005+.
Pacifier: Artist name used from 2002–2004.

Attribution

Entity names are recorded as of the time a video is released. If an entity changes its name, credits are attributed to the name in use at the time of a video release.
