How to model a digital image that is a comparative figure for a HumanMadeObject? #576

How can we model a digital image that is a comparative figure for a HumanMadeObject?

This would be an image (usually of another art object but not necessarily) that scholars have found useful when writing or speaking about the referenced art object.

AttributeAssignment on the HMO to a Digital Object for the image, without

e.g. there's no direct relationship, but it's worth associating the two together.

It's like objects that are "related" to the current one -- people have found these to be "useful" together.

Could you please show a JSON-LD example?

I've opted not to include images that don't have a direct relationship to the HMO. They might still make it into the graph in their own right as native Digital Objects, but they won't be linked to an HMOs. I thought about this and I think it's cleaner to allow the natural relationship to remain as is which is that the images aren't directly related to the HMO. They are related through an entity like a scholarly essay where they are referenced in-line in the text with markup, so, while it might provide a shortcut, if we wanted the once-removed relationship for some reason, the right answer is probably to incorporate the essay with the markup into the graph.
