Short URLs for Getty Vocabularies Full Record and Hierarchy Displays

[ggarcia]

Before the Linked Open Data implementation of the Getty Vocabularies, vocab.getty.edu was redirecting requests of the URIs to individual subject IDs to the human-readable record located on the larger Getty.edu site.  Since implementing LOD, we have received numerous requests to create a similar short URL to these pages.  This feature is now available at vocab.getty.edu using these templates:

• http://vocab.getty.edu/page/aat/{m}
  
• http://vocab.getty.edu/hier/aat/{m}

Examples:

http://vocab.getty.edu/page/aat/300198841
http://vocab.getty.edu/hier/aat/300198841
http://vocab.getty.edu/page/tgn/7009977
http://vocab.getty.edu/hier/tgn/7009977
http://vocab.getty.edu/page/ulan/500011051
http://vocab.getty.edu/hier/ulan/500011051

Thanks to everyone for their patience in this process.  We look forward to making more improvements in the future!

TGN place: http://vocab.getty.edu/hier/7009977-place
ULAN concept: http://vocab.getty.edu/ulan/500011051
ULAN agent: http://vocab.getty.edu/ulan/500011051-agent
