We end up with all sorts of odd accessions - didn't think a chicken
would be that out of place.

You can use the thesaurus tool to add additional terms and tiers to the
thesaurus. If you're not quite sure where this information should go,
try contacting the Getty Vocabulary program ([log in to unmask]). If you do
have a go at it alone - then I'd suggest contributing your animal
vocabulary to the Getty, so that we can all benefit from it.

Especially, when we accession some extra tasty crispy...

But then I would have to determine if it was crispy or original
recipe...

It is a 17th century Dutch painting, depicting various poultry.
Or, all the works we have which depict a horse.

Perhaps Kentucky fried?

There is no animal section of the AAT - are you looking to describe a
depiction of a chicken, or have you accessioned parts of a chicken?

Subject: TMS listserv, AAT and animals

Has anyone had any luck with the AAT and animals?  When searching for
Horse, all I found for the single term 'horse' was a piece of equipment:
framework functioning as a temporary support.
When searching for chicken, all I found were chicken related pieces,
such as a chicken coup.  But nothing that refers to poultry, foul, bird
or hen.
Am I missing the 'animal' section somewhere?
Or, I am trying to get something out of the AAT that does not exist.

Thank you,
