Metadata Creation and Discovery and AI Applications
The rapid development in AI and machine learning (ML) is creating new excitements for almost all fields of learning and sectors of industry. Libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) as cultural and social institutions are no exception. In fact, LAMs have long started the foundational work toward creating structured, semantically rich (meta)data to embrace the disruptive changes brought about by AI and ML, which will impact LAM institutions in many ways. Metadata creation and discovery as the core area of LAM work is quietly changing from traditional records of text strings to new data structures, workflows, and metadata products. Linked data, ontology models, and metadata for digitized and born digital assets form the established new services and operations in LAM institutions. There are issues to be explored and challenges to be addressed in how LAM institutions can take the full advantages of AI and ML to develop new data models and workflows. This panel presents three projects that explore the application of knowledge models/ontologies and AI & ML techniques in representing and enhancing the power of metadata in information discovery and use/reuse.
