1 Notre-DAM An open source Digital Asset Management framework Maurizio Agelli

2 digital assets assets: resources that can be owned and can produce value tangible assets (buildings, equipment, ) intangible assets (patents, trademarks, copyrights, ) digital assets: any media encoded into a binary file + the rights to use it e.g.: artwork, software, logos, audio, video, images, documents, but an asset is only an asset when you can find it!

3 why do we need Digital Asset Management? file management activities are costly 10% of time spent on file management ($8,200 per person and per year), mostly on searching (source: GISTICS Research) we are overwhelmed by information (sources: IDC, Cisco) digital universe estimated at 1800 Exabytes in 2011 (~400 billion DVDs) video will be 90% of all consumer IP traffic by 2013 (24 hours of video uploaded every minute to YouTube) multimedia resources present unique challenges size, multiple formats, non-textual content, rights, asset reuse storage optimization digital universe annual growth ~70% (storage growth only ~40%)

4 defining Digital Asset Management the protocol for downloading, renaming, backing up, rating, grouping, archiving, optimizing, maintaining, thinning, and exporting files P.Krog, The DAM Book, O'Reilly is a way of keeping an overview of your digital files and make sure they don't get lost or altered unintentionally J.Jacobsen, T.Schlenker, L.Edwards, Implementing a DAM System, Elsevier a complete toolbox to the author, publisher, and the end users of the media to efficiently utilize the assets D.Austerberry, Digital Asset Management 2nd edition, Focal Press

5 prime goals of Digital Asset Management Goals don t lose the media find media when you need them make the media look right ensure forward compatibility ensure interoperability protect rights Choices file storage, backup organization, metadata, taxonomies file formats, adaptation, delivery metadata, file formats, migration tools ingestion, file formats, metadata metadata, delivery, file storage An ecosystem is made up of many parts that must not only coexist but also work with each other to survive. When all the elements work in concert, the system can thrive. (Peter Krogh, The DAM Book)
