Artificial Intelligence, LLM and RAG supporting Library and Information Science: challenges and opportunities

ICTs are transforming the methods Library and Information Science uses to organize and disseminate knowledge. This transformation is evident in the adoption of new descriptive standards (RDA/RIC-CM) and numerous research projects (such as INTERPARES TRUST AI) that seek to assess and manage the impact of technologies, especially artificial intelligence, on archival science and librarianship within a global framework. The contribution offers insights into the future of knowledge description and cataloging, emphasizing the enhanced access to informational resources enabled by the use of LLM and RAG in digital environments designed for exploring cultural heritage.
