#2810 Add Getty AAT as external reference system
The Getty Art & Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) is essential for referencing "type" in the digital humanities because it provides a highly standardized, controlled vocabulary that ensures classification consistency across disparate digital collections. By assigning persistent URIs to its concepts, the AAT enables seamless integration into Linked Open Data (LOD) ecosystems, making cultural heritage data machine-readable and globally interoperable. Furthermore, its hierarchical structure and multilingual mappings resolve ambiguities in historical terminology, allowing researchers to capture the precise nuances of object and concept types.
