Getty Vocabularies at OCLC
From the OLCL press release:
OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. and the Getty Research Institute (GRI) today announced that the Getty Vocabularies-the Art & Architecture Thesaurus, Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names, and Union List of Artist Names-will be available through the OCLC Terminologies Service.
The OCLC Terminologies Service is a Web service that was recently launched to provide libraries, museums, and archives access to a variety of thesauri through a single interface. It may be used as a standalone tool or may be used with different metadata editors, such as OCLC Connexion, CONTENTdm, or local systems.
