Automatically extracting metadata for Grey Literature reports
| Title |
Automatically extracting metadata for Grey Literature reports |
| Detailed description | Sometimes we receive batches of grey literature reports for which we don't have any metadata. This means we can not include them in the grey literature library because they will not be discoverable. The only solution to this we have used thus far is to open each report and create metadata by hand. We generally don't have time/money to do this so wait until we have a willing placement student! It would be great if this could be automated in some way. Metadata we need is quite detailed and hard to extract (location of archaeological fieldwork, monument types, artefacts and periods) but perhaps more achievable is getting basic details from title page (Report title, author/s, date produced, name of contracting unit/organisation) |
