Practical Approaches for Leveraging Metadata and Taxonomy in Search and User Interface Design for DAM Applications
In prior years, we have learned about metadata and taxonomies and how they are the organizational foundation for all DAM asset creation, asset reuse and long term asset management. What are the best ways to apply metadata to DAM navigation, search and content assembly?
In order to reuse an asset, a creative professional needs to locate an asset that they may never have seen before in a large repository. This requires advanced methods for tagging assets and the ability to present intuitive navigation based on those tags. We will discuss developments in search that support these processes.
There are new approaches for making user interface decisions to leverage guided navigation in DAM systems and for exposing metadata values (controlled vocabularies, hierarchical navigation and related terms) for precise retrieval of assets. In addition, as the industry matures, organizations are finding new challenges in ensuring all aspects of metadata processes are operational (from developing terminology to tagging legacy assets, to developing reuse processes and in training staff at all levels in good practices)
Track topics will include: How DAM tools manage, apply and expose taxonomy and metadata, best practices in UI and faceted search design, how to expose and integrate taxonomies and metadata, the metadata lifecycle across asset life cycles and distribution channels
This session will conclude with a panel which will discuss metadata and content reuse case approaches content, process and technology challenges.
