I'm curious to know if your museum assigns formal subject headings and/or
keywords to works of art in their collections management or digital asset
management systems. A little poking around on the Web seems to indicate it's
not too common -- artist name, title, medium, collection, maybe a general
category, yes, but something approaching the depth of the subject headings
used in library catalogs--maybe no?
If you do assign subject headings, which authorities are used -- LCSH? AAT?
Thanks,
