Do you work with metadata in photographic or audiovisual collections?

22 February: FAME study day 2

Useful content metadata is rare in cultural heritage collections. That’s why, in the FAME project, we’ll be investigating whether automated metadata creation can help to fill these gaps. And what potential challenges could this scaling up bring with it? We’ll be reflecting on this issue in the second FAME study day.

Registration is open until 20 February.

The third and final FAME study day will take place in March. More info about the date and programme will follow soon.
