LIBER Webinar: Generating Metadata With AI - Experience of the National Library of the Netherlands
While librarians have been describing books manually for decades, several libraries are now experimenting with methods to automatically create metadata. Thanks to the growing volume of publications in electronic format, and the increase of artificial intelligence (AI) applications such as machine learning, there is a growing possibility for computers to interpret electronic texts and assist librarians when describing publications.

While librarians have been describing books manually for decades, several libraries are now experimenting with methods to automatically create metadata. Thanks to the growing volume of publications in electronic format, and the increase of artificial intelligence (AI) applications such as machine learning, there is a growing possibility for computers to interpret electronic texts and assist librarians when describing publications. During this webinar, Martijn Kleppe — Head of Research of the National Library of the Netherlands (KB) — discussed lessons learned by the KB learned during their first experiments, as recently described in a whitepaper . Without going into technical details, he emphasizedthe lessons learnedand gaveadvice to colleagues considering experimenting with AI techniques to automatically describe publications. The webinar host was Jeannette Frey , President of LIBER anddirector of the Bibliothèque Cantonale et Universitaire (BCU) Lausanne .
