Problem the AI is intended to solve

The Harvest Service addresses inconsistent or incomplete metadata across distributed HHS open data sources by normalizing descriptions, creating concise summaries, and tagging data assets for improved searchability

Expected benefits

Enhanced discoverability of HHS data from distributed agency-owned systems; improved user accessibility of health- and human-related data; faster identification of relevant data assets for researchers, policymakers, and the public; and increased value of open data investments.

System outputs

AI-generated concise data asset descriptions and standardized metadata tags integrated into HHS Data Hub asset records; improved open data records surfaced on HealthData.gov for public consumption.
