Closing the loop: integrating enriched metadata into collections platforms
The AI4LAM community calls and annual Fantastic Futures conferences present a rich picture of the many ways that people are using AI and machine learning to enhance collections records. But what happens to the data generated by these projects? Ingesting enhanced data appropriately and responsibly into collections management and discovery platforms (hereafter 'CMS') is a key factor in operationalising AI to improve collections documentation and discovery – but it's often difficult in practice. We present original research into the extent to which projects can integrate enriched data into collections platforms. We report on the factors in the success or failure of data integration shared by over 60 projects.
