An updated, electronic version (2000), revised by Patricia Harpring, can be found at http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/introvocabs/. Its homepage mentions that the publication under review here is seen as its replacement. In retrospect, Lanzi interestingly referred to the AAT primarily as a ‘knowledge base’ rather than a structured vocabulary (Lanzi, Introduction, 1998, 30).Google Scholar
