Host Chris Lacinak is joined by Jon Dunn and Emily Lynema from Indiana University to talk about the AMP project. AMP, which stands for Audiovisual Metadata Platform, was born out of a need at Indiana University to create metadata for hundreds of thousands of digitized assets. While AI was beginning to show great potential, there weren't platforms in the marketplace that allowed for the orchestration of multiple AI tools into coordinated workflows that could generate high quality metadata. IU pitched the vision of such a platform to the Mellon Foundation and AMP was born.Jon and Emily share their experience, insights, and lessons learned from their work on this groundbreaking project.Guest Bios: Emily Lynema is the Head of Digital Media Software Development at Indiana University Libraries. Her team develops systems that support access to digitized audiovisual materials, including the large volume of content digitized by the University’s Media Digitization and Preservation Initiative. She is actively involved in IU Libraries’ exploration of the use of artificial intelligence / machine learning tools to help create metadata for digitized media that can be used to enable identification, discovery, and rights determination. She holds a Master’s degree in Information Science from the University of Michigan and an undergraduate degree in Computer Science.Jon Dunn, Assistant Dean for Library Technologies, oversees information technology development and operations for the IU Libraries, including technical support, systems administration, software development, digitization, digital preservation, user experience, and digital collections services.Jon has worked with the IU Libraries for more than 25 years, beginning in the Music Library as technical director for IU’s groundbreaking Variations digital music library project, moving to the Digital Library Program at the time of its formation in 1997, and eventually joining the Library Technologies division.He serves as director of the Avalon Media System project, an open source system for providing online access to audio and video collections, funded by grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Mellon Foundation.
