Increasing FAIRness of FAIRagro data through AI supported metadata enrichment
Abstract
Background: High quality metadata is essential for FAIR1 data.Method: A training corpus has been generated to enable AI-based extraction of crop and soil metadata from FAIRagro Research Data Infrastructures (RDIs).Outlook: Enhanced findability through integration into the FAIRagro Search Hub2 and RDIs and support researchers in creating high quality metadata during data publication.

Therefore we moved forward to group annotations to upper classes (e.g., all soil entities annotated as soil). Despite these challenges, the corpus remains valuable for applications in AI development and evaluation. We have tested it on AI development and evaluation. LLMs Task-specific Language Models Development Evaluation Test Corpus (31 Documents) Power Consumption Accuracy The corpus is used to develop and evaluate AI metadata extraction. The evaluations are done based on output accuracy and energy consumption. • Time statements: 0.82 • Locations: 0.78 Corpus label counts
