+The model was developed in an ERDF-funded project "Using Artificial Intelligence to Improve the Quality and Usability of Digital Records" 
+(Dalai) in 2021-2023. The purpose of the project was to develop the automation of the digitisation of cultural heritage materials and the 
+automated description of such materials through artificial intelligence. The main target group comprises memory organisations, archives, 
+museums and libraries that digitise and provide digital materials to their customers, as well as companies that develop services related 
+to digitisation and the processing of digital materials.
+
+Project partners were the National Archives of Finland, Central Archives for Finnish Business Records (Elka), 
+South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences Ltd (Xamk) and Disec Ltd.
