Subject: Share your Subject Terms
External Email - Exercise Caution
Hello all,
I have contacted a few of you via other means, but would like to cast my net a bit more broadly in this ask: would you be willing to share with me the Subject terms
you assign to your objects? (and if you have linked them out to external vocabularies, I'd love to see those, too). I'm interested in seeing what kinds of overlap exists across institutions and determine if there's a common set of terms we could collectively
use and share with the community.
I'm primarily interested in subjects for artworks similar those at Getty to begin with (antiquities, paintings and drawings, sculpture, illuminated manuscripts decorative
arts, and photographs), but any and all are welcome! I am happy to share out results at the end.
Many thanks in advance,
Brenda
