Gallery Labels — Permanent object documentation vs. Event-specific interpretive content

[sheharbano96]

We have a question about how to model galleryLabels that are tied to specific exhibition or gallery contexts, rather than being general or permanent descriptions of the object itself.

Here’s an example of a galleryLabel from our data:

      { 
        "text": "Prehistoric and archaic antiquities from graves. Before 3000 BC.\r\n\r\nSlate palettes, flint arrow heads and knife, stone toggles. Slate palettes are a common feature in prehistoric tomb groups, and are made in the form of various birds, fish and other animals. They were used for grinding the malachite and galena for kohl which was the chief cosmetic of the period, and was also employed, as it is still, to-day, for darkening the eyelids as a protection against the glare of the sun.\r\n\r\nGiven by University College, London.\r\nCIRC.26-1935", 
        "date": { 
          "text": "1935", 
          "earliest": "1935-01-01", 
          "latest": "1935-12-31" 
        } 
      } 
    ] 

And this is how we have mapped it:

            "type": "LinguisticObject", 
            "classified_as": [ 
                { 
                    "id": "http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300312074", 
                    "type": "Type", 
                    "_label": "wall labels", 
                    "classified_as": [ 
                        { 
                            "id": "http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300418049", 
                            "type": "Type", 
                            "_label": "Brief Text" 
                        } 
                    ] 
                } 
            ], 
            "content": "Prehistoric and archaic antiquities from graves. Before 3000 BC.\r\n\r\nSlate palettes, flint arrow heads and knife, stone toggles. Slate palettes are a common feature in prehistoric tomb groups, and are made in the form of various birds, fish and other animals.

            "created_by": { 
                "type": "Creation", 
                "timespan": { 
                    "type": "TimeSpan", 
                    "_label": "1935", 
                    "begin_of_the_begin": "1935-01-01", 
                    "end_of_the_end": "1935-12-31" 
                } 
            } 
        } 

However, we’d like to clarify: this label is not a general object description. Instead, it's a contextual description — written specifically for a gallery or exhibition setting in 1935. It was part of a presentation of objects, not an inherent statement about the object itself.

Is there a recommended way in Linked Art to distinguish between permanent object documentation vs. event-specific interpretive content?

There is a verbose method to keep them separate and connected to the right context: https://linked.art/model/assertion/#context-specific-assignments

But your data doesn't have a specific exhibition or other context, just a date range ... do you know the context from other data?
