public static HumanMadeObject Bust_1_Technique()
{
    var bust = new HumanMadeObject()
        .WithContext()
        .WithId("https://linked.art/example/object/bust/1")
        .WithLabel("Bust of a Man")
        .WithClassifiedAs(Aat.Sculpture, Aat.TypeOfWork);

    bust.ProducedBy = new Production()
        {
            Technique = [Aat.Term("300264383", "Sculpting")],
            CarriedOutBy = [
                Ulan.Person("500015886", "Francis Harwood")]
        };

    return bust;
}
  • 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.
