RISM is an international community of music cataloguers that have been describing music collections in libraries around the world for over 70 years. More information about the organization can be found at https://rism.info/

We publish our records on the freely available site, https://rism.online This includes our authority records for People and Institutions. We currently have records for over 150,000 people and 26,000 organizations, all with a relationship to music in some form.

Recently we have seen some users start to add relationship links to our records. (e.g., https://musicbrainz.org/artist/3c939ae4-01e9-4b8e-9492-2c6420b1f511/relationships). RISM Online is also on the Other Databases Whitelist: https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Other_Databases_Relationship_Type/Whitelist

Following the [guidelines|https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Proposals], we would like to propose a dedicated link type on MusicBrainz for RISM.

Many thanks for your consideration.
