Catalogue metadata engine

Every image should be findable
by the one who seeks it.

Barbara reads digitised images and proposes structured catalogue metadata — title, description, subject terms, and only what the image visibly supports. A human reviews and approves; approved records export to a CSV for the collection system.

About this showcase. These three records were generated by the live Barbara engine (Grok vision through the owner's account) and are shown here as sample output. Every record uses an evidence-first rule — where an image does not visibly support a date or place, Barbara leaves it blank rather than guessing. If a detail is uncertain, it is flagged for the reviewer. This is a static preview of the running demo; the interactive review-and-export workflow runs on the owner's machine.
