Optimizing Metadata Workflows with AI: Insights from UCF Libraries

Title

Optimizing Metadata Workflows with AI: Insights from UCF Libraries

Description

The University of Central Florida Libraries are leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically the OpenAI API, to transform their metadata workflows. By automating the assignment of Faceted Application of Subject Terminology (FAST) headings and keywords to their digital and traditional collections, they enhance discoverability and user experience. This approach involves exploring various term reconciliation methods, such as utilizing the OCLC service or building a custom FAST vector database. Through rigorous testing and evaluation, including comparisons with Alma's AI Metadata Assistant, the Libraries are refining their AI-driven metadata practices, paving the way for an enriched library experience for their users.
