FamilySearch Computer Aided Indexing: Difference between revisions

Computer Assisted Indexing (CAI) is artificial intelligence (AI) created by FamilySearch to index and publish digitized records. One of the main records CAI is focusing on are Spanish Catholic Church Baptism 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.

* *Baptism Indexes

All Spanish parish records have been tagged or designated a record classification for record style/format. Classifications are made by natural image group. In order for a baptism record to be selected for CAI it must fit one of the following classifications.

All CAI records must have a publication title for the records to be placed in and made available. Some countries have only one collection title for CAI records while others have up to 30. CAI records are intermixed with other indexed records (traditional FamilySearch indexed records). Here are a few examples of collection titles. A more comprehensive list is being created.
