Teaching and Learning with AI Conference

The Metadata Creation and Management Department, in collaboration with the Digital Scholarship Department at the University of Central Florida (UCF) Libraries, is exploring the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into digital collections management and workflows. Leveraging the OpenAI API and a custom FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology) vector database, the project generates subject headings and semantic enrichment for collections within UCF’s repository and library management system. These efforts, combined with linked data enrichment from external knowledge bases, enhance resource discovery and user engagement. Together, they demonstrate a scalable, collaborative approach to enriching metadata and advancing discovery through responsible AI.
