Introduction to the AAT
revised May 2019 For educational purposes
VP made a number of records that were historically Guide Terms postable terms
Example “<culinary equipment>” should be postable, not a GT
However, “<equipment by context>” meets the criteria for a valid GT [Clue: In English, a legitimate GT often includes the word “by”]
We were careful to retain genus/species relationships in this transition
