Lightweight Artifact Verification for Cultural-Heritage Repositories
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This research synopsis asks whether a lightweight, evidence-bounded review overlay can improve the auditability of selected cultural-heritage record components without increasing professional burden. Developed from the Modular Artifact Sheet, the proposed method reuses existing documentation, separates human R1 from bounded AI R2 review, preserves disagreement and supporting evidence, and assigns a dated Green / Yellow / Red / STOP status to a specific claim rather than an entire artifact. A proposed 10–25-record pilot would measure reviewer time, documentation clarity, unnecessary flags, and maintenance costs. The method is not presented as artifact authentication, automated curatorial judgment, or proven repository-scale effectiveness.
