AAT record labels different from AAT

[MatthiasArnold]

In some cases, the terms in the AAT dropdowns within Ziziphus are different from the terms in the online AAT interface. This should not be the case.

Example 1: 300191086 - AAT "visual works (works)" - Z: "visual works (Guide Term)"

however, a "Guide Term" in AAT is indicated by angle brackets

Example 2: ID: 300044016 is named "brasswork (visual works)" in the online AAT interface.

However, in Z it is called "brasswork (objects)"

Maybe the online aat uses a newer set of data?

The "current" aat.xml list for "300191086" has "Guide Term" as Qualifier.

Is it possible to get a new aat-file or do we have to change to LOD

[MatthiasArnold]

Hm, yes, it seems. When I look at the SPARQL output of ID.300191086 I get "visual works (works)" and "gvp:qualifier" is "works@en" (cf. http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/term/1000191086-en) In the RDF output it also says "visual works (works)/skos:prefLabel" (cf. http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300191086.rdf)

We need to discuss how we deal with this issue (differences between offline and online versions of a thesaurus.

[MatthiasArnold]

Depending on how big the effort is, I vote for LOD. AAT and TGN are already published as LOD. ULAN content is covered by VIAF. CONA is currently not used by us.
