együttesfrom

Együttesfrom is a term used in music metadata contexts to denote the geographical origin or origin source of an ensemble. It is most often described as a qualifier attached to an entry for a musical group (an együttes) in Hungarian-language catalogs or data schemas. The concept helps separate the ensemble’s origin from individual artists, compositions, or albums.

Etymology and form: the word combines együttes, the Hungarian word for ensemble or group of performers, with the English preposition from. In practice, együttesfrom is treated as a label or field name within metadata records, and it may appear in various spellings or formats depending on the cataloging system.

Purpose and usage: együttesfrom serves to indicate where an ensemble is from, which can be useful for organization, search, and aggregation of records by region or country. In standardized metadata ecosystems, this information often maps to broader fields such as origin, place of formation, or country of origin, and may be represented by ISO country codes (for example HU for Hungary) or a descriptive region name. The term is more common in Hungarian-language documentation and experimental catalogs than in major international standards.

Implementation notes: because major standards like MARC or Dublin Core do not include a fixed field named együttesfrom, catalogers typically attach equivalent information to existing origin or geographical fields. When used, it should align with documented mapping rules to ensure interoperability.
