The Getty does not call them "node labels" but "guide terms", which in my opinion confuses node labels with other things. I maintain that <coverings and hangings> is not a node label, irrespective of the fact that it is printed in angle brackets. It does not contain "by" followed by a characteristic of division, and in fact is just a label for a broader concept than "coverings" and "hangings" separately. I would drop the angle brackets and treat it as a normal term. There may be cases where one node label occurs immediately under another without any intermediate named concept, but I cannot think of one. If you can give me an example I'll think whether such a structure is unavoidable!
