  • 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.
  • Dimensions and physical description Each helper builds a Dimension with its AAT type, value and unit, or a classification with its metatype: height, width, colour, shape, page count, component count, file size, duration in days.
