How could you make a large document collection easier for people to search and use?

Question

Accepted Answer

Annex has published an example of turning disconnected documents into searchable website content. In that work, an AI-based digitisation pipeline enriched documents with metadata, which helped make them easier to find through search and the site’s information architecture. The pipeline was built in Azure and integrated with Drupal. A person checked the results before content was uploaded and published, so the example included human review as well as automation. Whether a similar approach suits another collection depends on its documents, systems and publishing needs.
