The best one I have seen for emotions is the thesaurus developed for the Tate Modern Online indexing project. http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/SubjectSearch One of the search options is for "Emotions, concepts and ideas". Eileen Fry Indiana University ________________________________ From: ART LIBRARIES SOCIETY DISCUSSION LIST [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of New York Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 10:34 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARLIS-L] Controlled Vocabularies for conceptual terms Hello all, I am calling upon the collective wisdom of the list. Please excuse any cross postings. Does anyone know of a controlled vocabulary list / thesaurus of keywords for concepts and conceptual terms, such as emotions, to describe images? As some of you know, keywords such as happiness, hardship, depression, and the like are quite useful to include in image descriptions. Bridgeman is hoping to enhance standards for image metadata by collaborating with MILE, a metadata project taking place in the UK (www.mileproject.eu). We are also deeply committed to SILVER, an educational initiative in the UK that is developing new digital learning environments (www.silvereducation.org). Both of these projects would benefit from a controlled vocabulary for concepts and we are trying to create one. It would also be helpful to us as a commercial image provider (www.bridgemanart.com<http://www.bridgemanart.com/> ) and an educational image provider (www.bridgemaneducation.com<http://www.bridgemaneducation.com/>). If there are any currently existing controlled vocabularies out there it would help us tremendously. Any help in this regard would be most appreciated. If you wish to reply off -list, I will summarize any findings for the list.
