This article describes a methodology (and a tool) to associate, in an automatic or semi-automatic way, multilingual specialist glossaries to tags stored in the AESS archive of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The main objective of this research, developed within projects performed with Italian Lombardy Region, is to link AESS tags with corresponding terms in MultiWordNet (MWN), AgroVoc or DBPedia, to help cataloguers to structure terms appropriately and to have proper translations and relevant descriptions to insert them in AESS archive.
