The Getty vocabularies, the "Art & Architecture Thesaurus"® (AAT), the Getty "Thesaurus of Geographic Names"® (TGN), and the "Union List of Artist Names"® (ULAN), contain terms, names, and other information about people, places, things, and concepts used to catalog, document, and retrieve information relating to art, architecture, and other material culture. The vocabularies grow over time through contributions from the user community, which include art libraries, visual resources collections, museums, archives, and scholars. The Getty vocabularies are widely used in cataloging communities, where some of the most frequently asked questions concern the history, production, and ongoing development of these vocabularies. This article attempts to answer such questions and provides an introduction to the newest Getty vocabulary, "The Cultural Objects Name Authority"™ (CONA).
