Generating Smart Data for Diverse Cultural Heritage Resources in the New Era of AI — Exploring the Opportunities and Challenges

Smart data means the trusted, contextualized, relevant, cognitive, predictive, and consumable data at any scale, revealing the most important V(value) of big data. In the new era of AI, smart data may be efficiently processed using AI technology while also being used by AI to generate intelligent applications and produce high-quality data. However, since information-bearing cultural heritage (CH) entities are usually non-textual and non-machine-readable, generating smart data for diverse CH resources presents complexities in data processing.

This webinar will bring some special cases in recent innovative research projects in the world, involving processing of manuscripts (carried on different materials), symbols, images, sound, scent, museum objects, rock arts, etc. The challenges and potentials of using AI-assisted automatic processing in this context, and the role of knowledge organization systems (KOS) in improving the quality of the AI applications are very important and necessitate better understanding.

This webinar is organized by the Dublin Core Education Committee in collaboration with the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T). For free registration, use the code DCMI25.
