Hi Deb, Well, one thing about the lovely data in DAMs is that it is most useful if it can be converted into stuff for digital visitors, not just idle away in silos. Here's some notes on how we do this at the V&A...
http://www.slideshare.net/AndrewLVandA/digital-asset-management-what-is-it-and-why-do-it-28668169 Like all slides, it makes more sense with the words, but it may be of use. In general terms, it's all about making data web-portable. Then it can be fashioned into different things as required. I was trying to articulate this in this interview... http://www.intk.com/research/andrew-lewis Andrew Lewis Digital Content Delivery Manager Digital Media Department www.vam.ac.uk/digitalmedia ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2014 13:27:23 -0400 From: Deb Fanslow <deborah.fans...@gmail.com> To: mcn-l at mcn.edu Subject: Re: [MCN-L] mcn-l Digest, Vol 108, Issue 6 Message-ID: <CABCUz2DpEvFbUX-14bH7OK3=3ujzTb2t0ZncdnwFZ89y3npZHw at mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Perian, I am an aspiring DAM manager and new to this list - I would love to learn more about how institutions are integrating and extending their DAM systems. Can you post the information you receive regarding your inquiry below? Thanks, Deb Fanslow http://www.debfanslow.com A question for those of you who've implemented a digital asset management system at your institution or elsewhere... I'm trying to find or generate a list of digital asset management features that are specific to museums, libraries, and archives. All DAMS deliver a pretty core set of functions, but I'd like to know how you're extending these software packages to suit the needs of cultural institutions. These features might include internal and external uses and reflect either stand-alone or integrated installations. Please feel free to reply to me offlist.
