**LC Linked Data Service also contains many other vocabularies, but the above would be the most initially relevant for CHF.

- Cultural Objects Name Authority (CONA - http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/cona/index.html) - Fairly new vocabulary (introduced 2011) containing title, location, and other descriptive information for cultural works. "In general, CONA does not include records for objects in natural history or scientific collections, although there are exceptions for works of particularly fine craftsmanship that are of the type collected by art museums."
- Union List of Artist Names (ULAN - http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/ulan/index.html) - Used for artist and architect names, roles, and nationalities.
- Nomenclature 3.0 for Museum Cataloging (Revised and expanded version of Robert Chenhall's system for classifying man-made objects. Built into PastPerfect lexicon.) Nomenclature 4.0 will be published in July 2015.
**Catalogers often use both AAT and Nomenclature. For CHF, Nomenclature's scope will be more generally relevant as it includes medical and scientific equipment, whereas AAT focuses on art and cultural heritage. AAT offers qualifiers and more in-depth coverage, however, and also follows lowercase and natural order format for terms. For use with Hydra, AAT will be better as a primary resource because of its availability as linked data.
