From Backlog to Access: Scalable Metadata with Generative AI Wen Nie Ng Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, United States of America
This presentation explores a low-barrier, scalable strategy for using generative AI to address cataloging backlogs in visual collections. Focusing on the creation of minimum viable metadata, it offers real examples and practical guidance on prompt design, implementation, and ethical oversight to support faster access without compromising long-term descriptive quality.
