The initial phase focused on records for print books and e-books published in Latin-script languages; the results of these efforts have improved the cataloging, discovery, and interlibrary loan experiences for library staff and end users across the world. In our next phase, we’re expanding the focus to records that include non-Latin script describing print books, e-books, audiobooks, journals, and videos published in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Arabic, Hebrew, and Russian. We invite metadata experts in those languages to validate our machine learning model’s understanding of duplicates by participating in a data labeling exercise using a simple, intuitive, online interface. Are the two records functionally equivalent? Do they represent the same manifestation? Or are they truly different manifestations that just seem the same, except for some important differences that only you can spot. Put my skills to the test!<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://labelduplicates.worldcat.org/__;!!IBzWLUs!TYO67SfBPZlR4CVdXw5Pj6h41nrYXMhqkVCnHoXKNCjKflObJygQHsKxJYhKEe2yplzf4l1warHvzHl-AUWm8w$> The interface will remain open through 15 December 2023, at which time we will begin analyzing the collected data.

With your help we can better scale the resolution of duplicate records in WorldCat, saving countless hours of time and improving the experience for the global library community.
