Krina Doekes Brandt's presentation "Making Historical Geographic Collections Accessible: Digital Cataloging and Spatial Discovery Tools" was excellent. She outlined the work taken to create a highly interactive catalog for historical maps/aerial photos.

Christine Stohn (Clarivate) talks of the waves of AI.
AI/machine learning
Generative AI
Agentic AI
I wonder how similar Agentic AI is to the P2P approach of the UNaiVERSE product discussed in the keynote.

Yes; also a thread in the mailing list with the subject "Environmental impact of Primo Research Assistant"

This was raised last year also on the open floor. The response was fairly broad and I would suggest unsatisfactory. If the "train has left the station" as was stated y'day and we apparently have no choice, then they need to be more proactive in explaining what they plan to do.

Keynote from Marco Gori essentially was him promoting UNaIVERSE. It seems to be a decentralised,privacy focused form of AI. It makes sense but given what Ex Libris are doing currently,I would wonder if they would be interested.
I think the community definitely would be.

I will be watching a few IGeLU 2025 Conference talks. It makes sense that there is a lot of AI stuff given the huge push ExL have done in the past year or so. But great to see some interesting sounding Linked Data presentations also

Lawyers Caught Citing AI-Hallucinated Cases Call It a 'Cautionary Tale'
The attorneys filed court documents referencing eight non-existent cases, then admitted it was a "hallucination" by an AI tool.
Who should be responsible for the hallucination or the use of it?
“Our internal artificial intelligence platform ‘hallucinated’ the cases in question while assisting our attorney in drafting the motion in limine,” the law firm said in a filed response."

Looking at the Primo Roadmap 2025. Changes to Primo Research assistant. You can now prefilter by pub type (e.g. books, peer-reviewed) & date. This is significant, for me the big reason to use Primo RA is that its index goes beyond usual journal article from semantic scholar (1)
