Use the Infiniti AI Mentor to automatically determine the intent of a student's OPAC search. This significantly reduces the work needed to ensure books are more discoverable and deliver more success for students when they search. The AI Metadata Editor is used to easily and efficiently "train" the AI Metadata Search Assistant, ensuring libraries and catalogers are in full control of the MARC21 catalogue data.

Note: Infiniti AI Mentor is comprised of a Metadata Editor and Search Assistant.

Successfully ensuring student's search intent at OPAC is achieved by associating non-authority words or metadata tags, i.e., words students use when searching your catalogue, with valid authority subject headings, i.e., what are they actually trying to find. 

Some Examples of Metadata Tag Associations

Note: Metadata Search Assistant will automatically search using metadata tags each time a student does a subject search or a keyword search.

AI Metadata Editor

The AI Metadata Editor is used to associate non-authoritative search words (meta tags) with MARC21 subject authority headings. The AI Metadata Search Assistant will use the association to locate all books (and other resources) with that subject heading.

Associations can be managed bidirectionally, i.e., by starting with a subject authority heading and assigning it a metadata tag, or by starting with a metadata tag and assigning it to a subject heading.

Associate A Metadata Tag To A Subject Authority Heading

Start with a subject authority heading:

1. Go to: Menu > Authorities > Subject > Subjects
2. Search for the subject authority heading you would like to metadata tag.
3. - open the AI Metadata Editor.
4. AI Metadata Tags - click to type a metadata tag. Note: A metadata tag can be one word, multiple words, or a phrase per row.
5. Select an existing metadata tag from the list as you type, or create a new metadata tag by selecting the highlighted tag at the top of the list. Note: When the only tag listed is the tag you have typed, then it is your new metadata tag.
6. - add your new tag for the displayed subject.
7. Return to Step 4 above to add more tags as required.
8. - to save your tags for this subject.

Associate A Subject Authority Heading To A Meta Tag To

Start with a metadata tag:

1. Go to: Menu > Authorities > Subject > Metadata
   1. Search for the metadata tag you would like to edit:
      1. - open the AI Metadata Editor.
      2. Search for the subject to associate with this tag.
      3. Repeat Step 2 as required.
   2. - add a new metadata tag:
      1. Tag Name - type your tag.
      2. Search for the subject to associate with this tag.
      3. Repeat Step 2 as required.
2. - delete unwanted subject headings from this metadata.
3. - to save your changes for this subject.

Disassociate A Metadata Tag From A Subject Authority Heading 

1. Go to: Menu > Authorities > Subject > Subjects
2. Search for the subject authority heading you would like to edit.
3. - open the AI Metadata Editor.
4. - delete subject/s from the metadata tag as required.
5. Return to Step 4 above to delete tags as required.
6. - to save your changes for this subject.

Disassociate A Subject Authority Heading From A Metadata Tag 

1. Go to: Menu > Authorities > Subject > Metadata
2. Search for the metadata tag you would like to remove.
3. - open the AI Metadata Editor.
4. - delete unwanted subject headings.
5. Return to Step 4 above to delete subject headings as required.
6. - to save your changes for this subject.

The AI Metadata Editor can be used to train intent for any subject heading in your subject authority file with words, phrases, colloquial terms, and many non-English languages. Once trained for a specific subject authority heading the AI Search Assistant will automatically apply this intent to every book currently in your catalogue with this subject heading and any new books added to your catalogue with this subject heading.

Note: When searching your catalogue, the AI Metadata Search Assistant is quite tolerant of misspelling but should you discover a misspelling that the Search Assistant can't correct, you can use the Metadata Editor to try to train Metadata Search Assistant using that misspelling as a new metadata tag for the relevant subject.
