Faceted Search and Digital Asset Management
July 02, 2008

Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems are similar to other kinds of content management tools but present unique challenges around describing and locating content that typically lacks a great deal of narrative text. Images, video, audio clips, and other nontext assets are more challenging to describe and, given the sheer volume of content generated in day-to-day operations, difficult to locate.

Metadata for Digital Images
December 02, 2009

Managing a collection of digital image assets is a complex undertaking. Unlike text-based documents, images do not provide headings, captions, or the ability to count word frequency for delivering relevant search results. With examples from stock photo distributors and a case study on an image collection of 3.5 million, this session will address critical considerations for building effective metadata for images. We’ll discuss the particulars of image distribution systems, metadata for rights protection and topic access, and overview primary metadata standards for managing digital images.

Rights Management Taxonomy – A Key to Digital Content Value
July 14, 2010

The need to repurpose content through multiple digital channels gives rise to the need to track and manage rights.  It’s no longer sufficient to treat content rights as the legal department’s problem or to confine rights information to a spreadsheet or desktop database.  At the same time, rights information management is no longer just a back-office overhead process: done right, it’s a way to enable new revenue opportunities through content while minimizing legal risk as well as administrative costs.

In this informative session we will explore the changes in the digital media supply chain and expose the challenges and issues around systematic rights information management.  Using parallels from digital asset management, we will offer approaches to building structured rights information and show how they can add increasing value within a fragmented distribution environment.   We will also note key industry initiatives illustrating the way leading media companies are approaching the issue.
