CLIMB Press Release, 4/22/02
The goal of the project Computational
Linguistics for Metadata Building (CLiMB) was to explore and develop
computer-assisted
strategies for extracting item-level metadata -- i.e., cataloging
suitable for use in large-scale digital library collection projects
-- from the body of existing scholarly monographic literature
relating to those collections. This effort was an attempt to
address the problem presented by the often prohibitive expense
of creating
detailed subject cataloging for items in the collections being
digitized. This is especially true for the many unique image-based
research collections that would be of significant scholarly and
instructional interest if they were made available as part of
the evolving national and international digital library.
