Thesaurus for Graphic Material (TGM)

The Thesaurus for Graphic Materials (TGM) is a structured vocabulary used to describe images, illustrations, and other visual materials in a standardized way. It helps archivists, librarians, and researchers categorize and find graphic content by providing specific terms and themes related to these images. TGM includes various types of descriptors, such as subjects, genres, and techniques, enabling better organization and retrieval of graphic resources in libraries, archives, and digital collections. Essentially, it acts like a guide for accurately tagging and searching visual materials, enhancing accessibility and understanding of visual information.
