DISCUSSION If content recognition
by media fails (e.g. because the title
contains no reognized media, or no media at
all), other manifest attributes are
considered:
- Platform (e.g. "CBM", "Amiga")
- System (e.g. "c-64", "c-16", etc.)
- Publisher name or OID
- Title
- Year
If all of the above attributes are
present and match a cataloged title, then
the title is considered to be the same. If
the publisher is unknown,
or if the year is not set as four digits, or
if any other field is incomplete (e.g. "-"),
there is no match.
The software also uses an internal table
in order to consider two systems equivalent
for title recognition purposes. For example,
titles with the same publisher, name and
year for the C16 and Plus/4 would be
considered the same in a fallback scenario
where no additional details are available.
Similarly, most Amiga computers other than the
CDTV and CD³² are grouped into OCS, ECS and
AGA models.
If multiple titles match the above
criteria, only the first instance found is
considered.
