Classification of gallery spaces?

[beaudet]

Copying from a question asked in slack modeling so it can be discussed on a future call.

Beaudet:
When representing gallery spaces within a museum as Place objects, is it appropriate to use the AAT Place Name term to classify the name of the gallery or is that to be strictly used for geographic place names as described in the AAT: https://www.getty.edu/vow/AATFullDisplay?find=&logic=AND&note=&subjectid=300404655 ? If inappropriate any suggested alternative classifications?

Sissman:
Hi, I'm not sure if it helps, but we currently only use 300404655 to classify geographic place names, such as place created, place depicted, place found, exhibition venue location names (town/city, state/country), rather than gallery names like "Getty Villa, Gallery 109, The Greeks in Southern Italy and Sicily", which we just map as a Name into the Place record and classify as "name" (AAT 300404650) and "full names" (AAT 300404688), e.g. https://data.getty.edu/museum/collection/place/ad49ff51-7949-4c43-b354-4cfc7127432b – I'm curious if we should also be using 300404655 however, but it seems like it is specifically for geographic names.

Might be a good topic for a future call. We're seeing a growing interest in analytics around gallery spaces so I'm trying to model galleries as real spaces.
(two thumbs up in reaction to that so proposing for discussion)

Is there a need to classify the name like that at all? It's a name, and it's on a Place ... so it's a place name? I would just leave it as a Primary Name on the Place, and then classify the Place as a Gallery space.

Well, no, I suppose it isn't given your clarifying insight. So, one of our Place records would look something like this.

    "id": "https://id.nga.gov/0001a84c-a554-479a-8ced-d262dfe33d0b",
    "type": "Place",

                "_label": "interior walls"
            }
        ]
    ],
    "identified_by": [

                    "type": "Type",
                    "_label": "ID of entity in system of record"
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "type": "Identifier",
            "content": "M-060-A-S",
            "classified_as": [

                    "id": "aat:locationCode_term",
                    "type": "Type",
                    "_label": "location code"
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "type": "Name",

                    "type": "Type",
                    "_label": "primary name"
                }
            ]
        }
    ],

Is there an issue here? I think we're good to close?

Along the lines of coming to consensus on a subset of place types to describe internal museum spaces, can we consider extending this vocabulary with the following "place types" using concepts from AAT? These are place type involved in describing places related to museum foot traffic / flow and include many of the types of spaces one might find within a museum and which might assist with wayfinding applications.
