Getty Vocabularies



Please post the following message, from Patricia Harpring, Senior Editor

The J. Paul Getty Trust has announced that the Getty Vocabulary Program
has
found a new home at the Getty Research Institute, where it will be
overseen
by Murtha Baca as Head of the Getty Standards Program.  Senior Editor
Patricia Harpring of the Vocabulary Program will manage all of the
day-to-day editorial work, output to the Web and other publication
formats,
and processing of contributions.

In keeping with the Getty's mission of service to the community and its
commitment to promoting the use of data standards and controlled
vocabularies for information about art, architecture, and material
culture,
the three vocabularies will continue to be available on the Research
Institute Web site (http://www.getty.edu/gri/vocabularies). The Art &
Architecture Thesaurus, Union List of Artist Names, and Getty Thesaurus
of
Geographic Names continue to be viewed as valuable resources for both
the
Getty and for external programs involved in describing art materials;
they
will play a crucial role as search assistants in developing the Getty
Web
site.

During the next few years, the Vocabulary Program will focus on
development
of a technical infrastructure to support Getty-wide contributions and
deployment.  Concurrent with this internal focus, the program will begin
to
build strategic partnerships with key external organizations as a means
of
increasing the scope, depth, and relevance of the vocabularies to the
Getty, its public, and the art information community at large.  Of
course,
professional societies and organizations like SAA will play a key role
in
this work.
