BibNER-Werk system structures historical bibliographic data using AI

A new system called BibNER-Werk has been developed to address the challenge of structuring historical bibliographic data. This system utilizes Named Entity Recognition (NER) to extract and organize information such as titles, authors, and publishers from single metadata fields. The goal is to transform messy, unstructured data into a searchable and connected format, particularly for historical German catalogs. AI

IMPACT This system could improve the accessibility and searchability of historical archives, aiding researchers and librarians.
