Introduction to the AAT



Another example is where the contri

butor has preferred the AAT English

Descriptor, but then the English Descriptor changes [“Bena” for illustration only]



We could also use the “NB” notat

ion (maybe VCS can add a notation for

changed English Descriptors)

Translations all prefer the same term as the English Descriptor

But what if National Museum of African Art tells us that “Bena” is now a non-preferred term, and “Wabena” is the correct term used by this culture and in publications?

How can the translating projects be advised?
