AI Design Patterns for GLAM
Welcome
About This Book
This is a work in progress. Content will be added and updated over time. This is an early draft!
This book presents practical AI design patterns for Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM). Rather than focusing on specific technologies that will inevitably change, we document patterns which aim to capture reusable solutions to common challenges faced when implementing AI in GLAM contexts.
Goal of this book
There are many exciting possibilities for applying AI in GLAM contexts, but also significant challenges. This book aims to provide a practical guide to help practitioners navigate this rapidly evolving landscape.
Whilst there is a lot of hype around the adoption of AI in the GLAM sector there isn’t always clear guidance on how to approach projects in a structured way. This book aims to help fill that gap by providing a set of patterns that can be adapted and applied to a wide range of use cases.
Background to this work
This documentation emerged from work with the National Library of Scotland, but the patterns and approaches apply broadly across the GLAM sector.
