You do many things to ensure the usefulness of your information resources. If you've ever wished to describe, catalog, document or index information in more depth or more logically or even more specifically for your collections and target audiences, it may be important to consider some alternatives.

For many years, The J. Paul Getty Trust has made available vocabularies for art and material culture information. They are unmatched for their depth and breadth in the areas of art and architecture terms, geographic names, and artist names. Envision the integration of these resources with a suite of Web-based tools for transforming the Getty vocabularies to meet your specialized needs.

The Getty and WebChoir have collaborated to provide you with well-researched vocabularies combined with state-of the-art Web-based tools.  Moreover, we are determined to make these available to you at very special pricing for the benefit of museums and other non-profits throughout the world.
