It was a great pleasure for us to present our contribution “Possibilities and Limits of AI in Cataloguing Printed Music” at the RISM conference last week. The focus was on our joint visual-semantic analysis based on vision-language models (VLM), combined with context-supported processing (RAG) and standardisation using GND data.

The discussions on data quality, reproducibility, and transferability to other cultural objects were extremely valuable. Particularly important for us: the exchange on practical interfaces between AI-supported extraction, the maintenance of reference data, and curatorial work in the RISM workflow.

A sincere thank you to the organising team of the Saxon State and University Library Dresden (Sächsische Landesbibliothek – Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden, SLUB) for the excellent hosting and the friendly and professional setting – and to all participants for the constructive conversations.
