}
  • 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.
  • Role shortcuts AsPrimaryName, AsAccessionNumber and AsSystemAssignedNumber each add a single classification, with the AAT terms Primary Name, Accession Number and System Number.
