LUX supertype taxonomy

Taxonomy of content types and related formats for classifying record-level resources in LUX.

Format mappings (level one and level two) are applied to carrier-level records (HumanMadeObject or DigitalObject). Content-type mappings are inferred from format mappings and are applied to content-level records (LinguisticObject, VisualItem, or Set).

The supertype of a resource is used to determine its base class or document type in the Linked Art model.

Note: For supertypes that map to more than one base class, the primary class is indicated as primary in the base class column. Content types should be assigned to base-class documents using the mapping that has been specified for content types.

The content-type classification(s) for each content-level record (for example, LinguisticObject) should be included as the first object(s) in its classified_as array.

Content-level record (LinguisticObject):
