Hi,
I'm looking for some advice from people who are using or thinking of
using simple name lists or some other form of terminology control for
documentation, particularly for mixed collections in UK english.
Can anyone suggest a good existing list to use?
I've looked at the
Art & Architecture Thesaurus, but it doesn't cover archaeology, or
ethnography, also the Revised Nomenclature, which is also not broad
enough & too modern in emphasis.
Or has anyone decided to develop their own lists?
What principles are they based on? How simple are your simple names?
- my problem is a very varied collection, containing sub-sections
with very technical names which are unlikely to be recognised by the
non-specialists.
Any advice or thought gratefully accepted either directly to
[log in to unmask]
or to the list.
Thanks very much
Jane
