Abstract
This paper reports on current collaborative work between Taiwan e-Learning and Digital Archives Program (TELDAP) and Getty Research Institute (GRI) in developing the Chinese-language Art & Architecture Thesaurus (AAT-Taiwan) which supports the unification of terminology used by various archiving institutions for describing identical concepts. This work aims to establish a conceptual framework for the digital library by providing controlled vocabularies to index and catalogue the collection. With its multilingual nature, AAT Taiwan is able to bridge Western and Eastern culture in an integrated framework, and make our resources accessible worldwide. With its hierarchical structure, it also enhances the effectiveness and comprehensiveness of information retrieval in digital libraries.
