Computer Aided Indexed Spanish Catholic Parish Registers
Computer Assisted Indexing (CAI) is artificial intelligence (AI) created by FamilySearch to index and publish Spanish Catholic Church Baptism records. CAI relies heavily on correct cataloging/record organize metadata. Current CAI efforts focus on natural image groups (DGS or subset of a DGS) using metadata in FamilySearch's database called Record Management System (RMS). When RMS metadata matches CAI criteria, then the natural image groups are indexed and published on FamilySearch.

Image Metadata Criteria
Natural image groups must have their record language specified as Spanish. Natural image groups found at: https://www.familysearch.org/records/images/ must have the following metadata tag(s) (their Spanish equivalent) in order for them to be processed via CAI.

* Baptism Indexes - Often a natural image group includes an index and baptisms (example: a book of baptisms with an index at the beginning or ending of the volume). If the natural image group is a stand alone volume of indexes, then it will not be selected for CAI. If the volume contains metadata of Baptism Indexes in addition to metadata of another qualifying record type, then the natural image group will be included in CAI.
 * Baptism Records
 * Christening Records
 * Reconstructed Baptism Records
 * Baptism Record Extracts
 * Baptismal Certificate
 * *Baptism Indexes
 * Delayed Baptism Records
 * Hospital Baptisms

Image Group Classification
All Spanish parish records have been tagged or designated a record classification for record style/format. In order for a baptism record to be selected for CAI it must have fit one of the following classifications. Classifications are made by natural image group.


 * Paragraph - type/machine or handwritten paragraphs
 * Paragraph Forms - type/machine written fill in the blank paragraphs
