How can three popular chatbots support subject cataloging using DDC, LCC, and LCSH?

Why read? Replicable assessment methodology for automatic indexing.
What’s next? Observing real chatbot use in cataloging (as the authors suggest).

@gnoli.eu chaired the first session of the #ISKOUK 2025 Conference. An emerging theme seems to be about the use of AI to enhance indexing of resources, but with human oversight. We do not seem to be yet at the stage where AI generated indexing or metadata is totally reliable.

Stephen Jay Gould was born OTD in 1941.

“Organisms are not billiard balls, propelled by simple and measurable external forces to predictable new positions on life's pool table.... Organisms have a history that constrains their future in myriad, subtle ways.”

William Sharp Macleay was born OTD in 1792.

His Quinarian system launched a vogue in the 1820s-1830s for systems of biological classification based on the assumption that nature is so well ordered that animals can be classified in a nested hierarchy of simple, geometrical forms.

Bravo @stefanorizzato.bsky.social a citare il motivo di protesta (Israele) del manifestante, che non mi pare abbia creato pericoli, anziché censurarlo come altri telecronisti. Lo sport ci piace se non si chiude in una torre d'avorio. @raisport.bsky.social
