The MAO/TAO Ontology in the Finnish National Library's Finto service
The Finnish Heritage Agency commissioned the Finnish Terminology Centre to update the Ontology for Museum Domain (MAO/TAO). During the year 2024, some definitions related house construction to as well as some new concepts were added to the ontology. The General Finnish Ontology (YSO) which has been added to the MAO/TAO was updated to a newer version (2024.6 Jung).
A terminologist and an IT-designer from the Finnish Terminology Centre prepared the ontology for publication at the end of the year, and the updated version was published in the Finto service in January. After the update, the ontology contains nearly 12,400 concepts. Approximately 700 of them include terms in both Finnish and English and circa 50 also in Swedish. Definitions in Finnish are given to around 350 concepts.
