The Machine Aided Subject Indexing (MAI) Process at UF Library is run by a group composed of staff from the Cataloging and Discovery Services and the Digital Support Services. This process uses Data Harmony Suite, products of Access Innovations together with a few functions in the Steward, a metadata management tool made available by the Library IT. This process adds suggested subject terms to UFDC records based on terms' frequency counts and modifiable rules. These added subject terms allow users to locate the content via more keywords and to organize the content with locally controlled subject terms. Starting in 2017, the group has run the process over tens of thousands of UFDC records. Now the group aims at improving the result quality and also scaling up the batch work.
Below diagram shows the 9 steps for each batch. More details on page Batch Process.
