This book was released on 1994-03 with total page 3182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art and Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) provides a standard, controlled vocabulary for use by indexers, catalogers, and other professionals concerned with information management in the fields of art and architecture. This new, complete second edition contains more than 90,000 words and phrases used to describe objects, materials, activities, agents, styles and periods, physical attributes, and associated concepts in the disciplines of fine arts, architecture, decorative arts, and material culture of the Western world from antiquity to the present. The vocabulary is presented both in hierarchical displays and in alphabetical order, providing the user with precise information on definitions, relationships, and dependencies of related terms. The standardized vocabulary allows the primary users to compile accurate, consistent records of items in their collections. Applicable to a broad range of archival and special collections, the AAT can be used to describe not only objects but also visual surrogates of objects (slides, photographs, etc.), documents and records, and publications. Each recommended term, or descriptor, included in the AAT represents a single concept; synonyms and spelling variants are included as "lead-in terms." The second edition contains 24,496 descriptors, 2,756 guide terms, and 63,003 alternate and lead-in terms, for a total American English vocabulary of 87,499 terms. Also included are 3,462 related terms and 1,812 British English descriptors, alternate terms, and lead-in terms. The addition of British English terms in the second edition enhances the use of the AAT for an international audience. The Guide to Indexing and Cataloging with the Art and Architecture Thesaurus is directed to members of four major indexing and cataloging communities--archives, libraries, museums, and visual resources collections--and is intended to train them in the use of the AAT vocabulary as an indexing tool. The Guide includes a general introduction, specific instructions for indexing special materials, and separate chapters directed to each of the four user communities, written by an expert practitioner and vetted by peer review. Also included in the volume are a section devoted to management and policy issues arising from local applications of a standardized indexing vocabulary, a glossary of technical terms used in the volume, and a bibliography of suggested readings on subject analysis, indexing, and controlled vocabulary usage. This volume is set-packed with the five volumes of the second edition of the AAT and is also available as open stock.

Download or read book Art Architecture Thesaurus Alphabetical display M Z written by Toni Petersen and published by New York : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of art history, ranging from ceramics and oil paintings to architecture, and as varied in time, style, and medium as Medieval manuscripts, Baroque printmaking, and modern sculpture, has spawned a vocabulary as varied as its component parts. The vocabulary describes not only the objects of art but such complex subjects as the processes and materials from which they are made and the new concepts applied by successive critics. The long history of documenting art has produced many different types of record-keeping and descriptions, from museums, archives, slide and photograph collections to bibliographic collection in libraries and printed indexes. Drawing on these multiple sources, The Art and Architecture Thesaurus encompasses the first part of the full spectrum of terminology for art and architecture of the Western World from the ancient period to the present. Its ongoing maintenance will assure regular updates incorporating new terms and usages. The only standardized vocabulary of the subject for use in bibliographic and visual databases, and in the inventorying of collections, this innovative reference constitutes: o Some 47,000 terms used by scholars, researchers, and information professionals. o Entries for art object names in three main categories: the built environment; furnishings and equipment; and visual and verbal communication. o Twenty-three main hierarchies or "trees," including architectural elements, building types, furnishings, documents, and other artifacts, and that display each term in the context of related words. o Seven mutually exclusive facets (categories comprising the hierarchies) that represent broader categories of knowledge, including physical attributes, styles and periods, agents, activities, materials, and objects. Developed as part of the Art History Information Program of the J. Paul Getty Trust, this indispensable reference fills a great need for a comprehensive, controlled, and consistent vocabulary in the fields of art and architecture. Now in its groundbreaking print and electronic formats, the Art and Architecture Thesaurus will be an essential tool for those developing databases of collections, and for researchers who will retrieve information that has been indexed and catalogued.
