Hello TMS Users,

 

I was hoping that the SourceTermID in the Getty’s TGN would be the same ID as that term’s online record, so I could invoke the URL to point to the authoritative source term when I needed to. I guess I was wrong, but perhaps I’ve missed something. Perhaps someone with more experience using the TGN could explain a way to do this. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide!

 

Example:

 

Term                     TermID                 SourceTermID

Detroit                  943322                  236364

 

ID: 7013547
Page Link: http://vocab.getty.edu/page/tgn/7013547
