Faceted relationships

Overview

Faceted relationships are relationships between things derived from sharing data points--usually a vocabulary term or date. For example these two objects are in faceted relationships around their classification terms (aat:300026877, correspondence) and the year of the date they were made (1947):

Faceted fields

  • Date
  • Object subtype (archival document or museum object)
  • Classification (painting, letter, photograph, etc)
  • Artist/People
  • Depicting

Multi-lingual considerations

In the site, display labels for faceted relationships are generated from the localized term list fed into the site and emitted in the data release as framed Term objects.
