From title source to AI-generated metadata: Why data provenance matters
Data provenance became a hot topic in cataloging when it was included in official RDA. But, data provenance is simply the familiar cataloging concept of saying, "this is where the data came from." The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate metadata in bibliographic records is a new, important use for data provenance, raising questions about when and how to provide data provenance. Join Kate James for an overview of data provenance uses cases and techniques available in MARC 21, including field 588, field 883, and data provenance subfields, e.g., $7 (dpes/dpsfa)Latn.
