Join OCLC for "From title source to AI-generated metadata: Why data provenance matters"-the August 2024 Virtual AskQC Office Hours topic

  • 1.  Join OCLC for "From title source to AI-generated metadata: Why data provenance matters"-the August 2024 Virtual AskQC Office Hours topic

    Data provenance tells us about the source of metadata, the methods used to create it, and when it was created or updated. This has always been important in cataloging, and the use of AI-generated metadata only makes data provenance more important.

    Join us either Tuesday, 12 August at 10:00 am EDT (UTC -4) or Thursday, 21 August at 4:00 pm EDT (UTC -4), whichever is more convenient for you, as Kate James will explain ways to record data provenance with MARC 21. There will be plenty of examples and explanation of the benefits of different techniques. While "$7 (dpes/dpsfa)Latn" will never look pretty, you may come to appreciate the beauty of providing data provenance so precisely.

    Registration links are here. On the Previous AskQC Office Hours page, you may access the recordings, slides, and Q&A from past virtual AskQC presentations. When you register, you will receive an email reminder before your chosen session along with a link to the WebEx event. All Virtual AskQC Office Hours are available from OCLC at no charge.

    Please excuse any duplication of this message.
