This open source project provides a simple, fast, powerful, and easy to use search interface for the Getty Vocabularies. It’s powered by Elasticsearch and Next.js.

Screenshots of gettfully UI showing fuzzy search (misspellings) and filtered search, e.g. “Female artists born in Brooklyn.”

This project uses the Getty Relational Table formats (available in Downloads links below). The relational data exports seem to be more consistently updated than the XML exports. Relational data files are imported into Elasticsearch using the Elasticsearch Bulk API. Each vocabulary is represented by a separate Elasticsearch index, e.g. `ulan-subjects`, `aat-subjects`, etc.

Getty Vocabularies

The Getty Vocabularies contain structured terminology for art, architecture, decorative arts and other material culture, archival materials, visual surrogates, and bibliographic materials. Compliant with international standards, they provide authoritative information for catalogers, researchers, and data providers.

The Getty Union List of Artist Names (ULAN)

The Union List of Artist Names ® (ULAN) contains information about people and corporate bodies related to the creation and maintenance of art and architecture. It includes names, rich relationships, notes, sources, and biographical information for artists, architects, firms, studios, repositories, and patrons, both named and anonymous.
