{
    var rembrandt = new Person()
        .WithContext()
        .WithId("https://linked.art/example/person/rembrandt/32")
        .WithLabel("Rembrandt")

}
  • Metatype classification The second argument classifies the first, not the object: WithClassifiedAs(Aat.Description, Aat.Statement) says this is a Description, and Description is a kind of Statement. The Plain C# form shows the nesting.
  • Terms outside the registry The vocabulary registry holds only the terms linked.art itself publishes, so a dataset's own concepts, places and people are written with Aat.Term, Tgn.Place and Ulan.Person, giving the id and the label.
