One of the main records CAI is focusing on are Spanish and Italian Catholic Church baptismal records. CAI relies heavily on correct cataloging/record organize metadata. Current CAI efforts focus on natural image groups ([[Book_and_Film_Numbers_Used_by_the_FamilySearch_Library#Digital_Filming_Numbers|DGS]] or subset of a DGS) using metadata in FamilySearch's database called Record Management System (RMS). When RMS metadata matches CAI criteria, then the natural image groups are indexed and published on FamilySearch. | ||

Identifying records processed via CAI is not easy. FamilySearch is working on this and future versions of Image Search will make it more clear. In the meantime there are two ways to determine if a natural image group has gone through CAI. | |||

Every week FamilySearch processes new natural image groups that fit the criteria above: this is done by updating the metadata of existing natural image groups and through new image acquisitions. Users should return regularly to determine if new image groups have been processed via CAI. | Every week FamilySearch processes new natural image groups that fit the criteria above: this is done by updating the metadata of existing natural image groups and through new image acquisitions.
