GAMA Vocabulary

The GAMA consortium developed a search vocabulary as a tool for media art databases. It consists of type, meant to differentiate between an artwork, an event outside the artwork and resources informing further on the artwork, with a glossary of scope notes determining how the terms are used in the portal, and of keywords intending to assist in mapping existing and future.
Keywords are words and concepts that can be used to explain, describe and find artworks, events, resources and other referential material in the GAMA portal, helping the users to navigate their way through this content. The GAMA keywords, as their main focal point, aim to cover the contents of the individual archives included in the GAMA portal. Among the keywords are many concepts typical for the field of media art, but it is not a list that is restricted to the media art field and not a list that aims to cover all media art in general. The keywords also refer to general or specific topics regarding society, politics, economics, science and culture.
The keyword list on the GAMA portal is derived from various sources:
* The keyword lists used by several participating archives (Netherlands Media
* Art Institute, Heure Exquise!, Ludwig Boltzmann Institute's Ars Electronica taxonomies)
* Keywords used by the Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art, Science and Technology, Montreal, Canada
* The Getty Art and Architecture Thesaurus
* The thesaurus developed by V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media, Rotterdam, the Netherlands
* Keywords used by BAM (Flemish institute for visual, audiovisual and media art), Ghent, Belgium
