International Terminology Working Group meetingsThe International Terminology Working Group (ITWG) is convened every few years by the Getty Vocabulary Program (GVP), in the Division of Research and Knowledge Creation at the Getty Research Institute. It serves as a venue to gather the GVP's community, including staff members, contributors, users, vendors, and partners to discuss the evolving status of the Getty Vocabularies and to exchange information about how the Vocabularies are being implemented and used across the international art and cultural heritage sector. Common issues regarding translations, other contributions, and use cases of AAT, TGN, ULAN, CONA, and IA may be explored. Closely related topics may also be discussed, such as CDWA (Categories for the Description of Works of Art), reparative description, terminology to allow diverse and inclusive indexing, and the use of artificial intelligence for indexing art. Getty Vocabularies are compiled resources that grow through contributions from Getty projects and more than 350 museums, libraries, archives, special collections, visual resources collections, art conservation professionals, bibliographic and other documentation projects, large translation projects, and individual experts. The resulting compiled resources are made available in online Search, LOD, and other formats under the Open Data Commons Attribution License (ODC-By) 1.0. ITWG was founded in 1988.
