Updates to AAT full dataset?

[Raf Guns]

Hi all,

I noticed that it's been over 10 months since the last time the AAT full dataset was updated:

❯ curl -I http://aatdownloads.getty.edu/VocabData/full.zip
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 251953169
Content-Type: application/x-zip-compressed
Last-Modified: Mon, 13 Jan 2025 18:06:45 GMT

Is this intentional? What's the renewal frquency of these files?

Thanks for any insights!

Best,

Raf

Hi; we’ve had reported to us a question about our “Newfoundland” entry links to the Getty term Terre-Neuve.

 

http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81066145) has a link to the Getty ULAN: https://vocab.getty.edu/ulan/500269681. 

 

The reason is that we take your links to us  and echo them back.  I think our term has Terre-Neuve as a variant label, which is why the match was made.

 

However, our record says Newfoundland been renamed to “Newfoundland and Labrador” since 2001 (https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2002021084), which has it’s own link to getty at https://vocab.getty.edu/tgn/7005801-place.

 

I wonder if the tgn term Newfoundland (https://vocab.getty.edu/tgn/7005807) should be linked to our Newfoundland http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81066145 record.

 

I guess it’s possible that both Terre-Neuve  and  Newfoundland in your system should link to our Newfoundland that way, since it’s a variant match.

 

However, your record seems to be for a corporate body, and ours is a geographic node, so maybe the skos:exact-match is a little too strong a link.

 

Thanks for taking a look!

 

Nate
