At the behest of top-tier libraries, the race is on to create bibliographic and discovery environments supporting BIBFRAME and other linked data concepts. Companies will likely soon complete enhancements to support BIBFRAME, but the level of demand for these products remains to be seen.
The real unknown is AI. While many companies featured in this year’s and last year’s reports have announced ongoing plans to add generative AI to their offerings, this technology has not yet been integrated in any significant way. As the industry continues to work on harnessing AI in ways that limit bias and error, libraries can anticipate more prominent use of this technology in products within the next year or so.
