.Getty was a trailblazer in a) committing resources to standards and vocabularies for art information, and b) bringing together disparate communities under Getty leadership .AAT, ULAN, and TGN were begun in 1979-1980s .Formerly part of the Art History Partial group of AHIP staff Information Program at new Getty Center, 1997

12 Patricia Harpring Getty Vocabularies: What We Do? Revised October 2020 History of the Getty Vocabularies
.Getty Vocabularies were envisioned as tools to address needs of the art information, collecting, and research communities, to support indexing and retrieval, scholarly discovery .From the beginning, meant to be authoritative (not Williams College authoritarian), compliant with standards, containing rich data and links .Designed separately, united at Getty AHIP
.Thanks to an army of visionaries and editors, including CASVA at NGA Toni Petersen, Eleanor Fink, Henry Millon, Murtha Baca, Jim Bower, Patricia Harpring .AAT began at Williams College, developed by a panel of experts; support from CASVA and Getty J. Paul Getty Trust

13 Patricia Harpring Getty Vocabularies: What We Do? Revised October 2020 History of the Getty Vocabularies
• AAT candidates were submitted on thousands of paper forms; published warrant was required • From user community: visual resources collections, art libraries, art repositories, some from conservation • Entered by hand in a custom-made editorial system, vetted by a dozen editors • AAT and ULAN were published as books; soon available on diskettes, then online in 1997

.ULAN and TGN were informed by the CIHA TAU (Thesaurus Artis Universalis) for artists and places important to art history .Advised by expert committees .Core initial data was compiled from existing Getty projects’ data and freely available US government geographic resources Building the Getty Center .CONA & IA were based on the CDWA (Categories for the Description of Works of Art) model, which itself was the result of user community consensus on best practice

.AHIP resided at Getty offices in Santa Monica until 1997 AHIP at 4th & Wilshire, .When the Getty Center opened, we moved Santa Monica .Our core activity has always been to acquire, process, and disseminate the Getty vocabularies to our core users .Variety of formats, XML, Relational Tables, APIs, and LOD .AAT, ULAN, TGN, CONA, and IA all share the same core data structure Building the Getty Center and the same core editorial rules .From the beginning, they have been valued as authoritative because they are compiled by experts, contributors and sources are cited, and persistent numeric IDs identify the records, terms, other data associated with each concept

Getty Vocabulary Program
31 Patricia Harpring Getty Vocabularies: What We Do? Revised October 2020 The mission of the Getty Vocabulary Program (GVP) is to produce rich, structured, authoritative vocabularies, in compliance with international standards, that provide a powerful conduit for inter-related, linked, and meaningful research, discovery, and understanding of the visual arts and their various histories, in collaboration with the international community, and utilizing training and outreach to inform the field.
One of our primary goals is to broaden and enrich the scope and coverage of the Getty Vocabularies to become ever more multilingual, multicultural, inclusive, and representative of the subjects and priorities of the GRI, the Getty, and global art history.
