On linked.art: Objects: Aboutness › Inscriptions and Signatures · site JSON · type HumanMadeObject · Aboutness.Nightwatch_Signature

C#

public static HumanMadeObject Nightwatch_Signature()
{
    var nightWatch = new HumanMadeObject()
        .WithContext()
        .WithId("https://linked.art/example/object/nightwatch/18");

    nightWatch.ReferredToBy = [
        new LinguisticObject()
            .WithClassifiedAs(Aat.SignatureStatement, Aat.Statement)
            .WithContent("signature and date: ‘Rembrandt f 1642’")
    ];

    return nightWatch;
}
  • 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.
