ital-5889	Park, Jung-ran; Brenza, Andrew	Evaluation of Semi-Automatic Metadata Generation Tools: A Survey of the Current State of the Art	2015-09-21	21	.pdf	application/pdf	7844	236	24	Even  though  there  are  promising  experimental  studies   that  exploit  various  methods  and  sources  for  semi-­‐automatic  metadata  generation,3  a  lack  of   studies  assessing  and  evaluating  the  range  of  tools  have  been  developed,  implemented,  or   improved.  To  address  such  needs,  this  study  aims  to  examine  the  current  landscape  of  semi-­‐ automatic  metadata  generation  tools  while  providing  an  evaluative  analysis  of  their  techniques,   features,  and  functions.   Because  of  the  quantity  of  information  resources  and  the  costly  and  time-­‐consuming  nature  of   manual  metadata  generation,2  it  is  increasingly  apparent  that  there  simply  are  not  enough   information  professionals  available  for  satisfying  the  metadata-­‐generation  needs  of  the  library   community.  Semi-­‐automatic  metadata  generation,  on  the  other  hand,  offers  the  promise  of  using   high  levels  of  computing  power  to  manage  large  amounts  of  information  resources. 	cache/ital-5889.pdf	txt/ital-5889.txt
