Hi Toni, over here in Europe, several institutions still do use vocabulary based on the UDC (Universal Decimal Code). Especially in the (art-)photography related field. Amongst others, the Provinciaal Museum voor Fotografie in Belgium. I myself use an English vocabulary loosly based on the thesaurus words generated by the ArtBibliographies Modern. The whole list is not yet retrievable - but check our library website at:
http://library.nfi.nl Was once interested in translating, using and promoting the AAT. But for my business this is too complicated. Still I do check the AAT for new terms to use. On the other whe do maintain a huge name authority database to control artists name - for the format check the above mentioned URL. Hope this helps, and good luck with your findings, Hans Zonnevijle > I'd like to learn if different places use some standardized or home > grown vocabulary control terms for keywords.
