Do we need to model captions (cartels)? And how? #39

In museum practice, information about an artist is usually recovered by curators to complement captions (cartels in French) of works of art in a specific exhibition. This kind of information is often not documented in the museum’s database, with the exception of the text of the caption. It would therefore be useful to document captions in the Target Model, so that even if this information is in text format like biographies, it is still available. The problem is that captions are linked to objects and not person (it would rapidly be complicated and overwhelming to link every captions to an artist it is related to). That is why captions are not in the TM 2.0. It could be interesting to add captions to the basic object facet present in the TM in a later version.

If so, how should we model those captions? With E33 Linguistic Object like curatorial notes in issue #20? Or should we use another pattern?

I would go with the pattern you suggest, Linguistic Object, if you decide to model these. That would be consistent.
