In the concept mock for improved media search on Commons, there are "concept chips" across the top of the screen (see the red arrow):
These are essentially facets from the main search keyword (in this case, "Hudson River School").
This ticket is to experiment technically with creating the "concept chips" and/or standard faceting in the media search proof of concept UI with structured data.
If for research we are just hardcoding a few examples, Daisy and I were thinking of just a few random queries: Redwood Tree, New York City, and Van Gogh? As far as what chips are shown, is that something I should come up with as well? I'd probably lean off of what Google Images has for those.
Let me know if you need any assets to make that easier!

[mediawiki/extensions/WikibaseMediaInfo@master] Pretend to have concept chips for a few terms
Patch with a few hardcoded examples is ready.
This hardcodes a few concept chips, for:
The suggested chips were based on Google Image's suggestions.
Thumbnails are the first results for 'term + chip' searches on Commons. Some of those don't make too much sense (or rather, are not the perfect result - i.e. van gogh + sunflower) and some are duplicated (i.e. van gogh + vincent = van gogh + paintings)
But that'll be reality...
There's no point in cherry-picking perfect examples to create an unrealistic test environment.
In order to make it look like an actual thing, clicking the concept chips will lead you to "term + chip" search results.
(We don't know whether they'll actually behave like this in the end, but at least they seem to be doing something useful enough during research.)
This looks great and should help us learn a bit more how we should move forward during research, thanks Matthias!

[mediawiki/extensions/WikibaseMediaInfo@master] Add dummy concept chips without thumbnail
I suspect that fetching thumbnails for concept chips might require significant additional resources: we'll likely need to execute an actual search for each chip to find a relevant thumbnail.
I'm not sure these tiny thumbnails provide enough added benefit to warrant that additional load. It appears that even Google isn't even sure about this (I don't get thumbs in Google images, but have seen variations with thumbs for other people)
I'll add a few dummies with and a few without, so that we can research this and make a more informed decision.
With thumbnail:
Without thumbnail:

Moving this ticket to "blocked" because we're not yet sure where to take this and are waiting for user feedback from research session, AIUI?
