  • Met’s commitment to asking and answering a series of questions not always built into the development process for digital asset management activities in the not-for-profit world. Our questions included quantitative ones such as: “How big is the collection of assets?” and “How much storage will be required?”  We asked questions about proprietorship and access: “Who uses the assets?” and “Who will manage them?”  We wondered about the quality and value of the assets: “Should images that are made available to the public be color corrected?” and “If the object’s descriptive record has not been reviewed, may it be distributed along with the asset?” and finally, “Are existing descriptions adequate to support successful searching at all?”  We also asked a number of questions that forced the Met’s staff and executives to think through fundamental intellectual property policy positions: “Who decides who may use the assets, both inside and outside of the museum?” and “Is the Met’s goal to profit from the licensing of images, or to support an educational mandate for broad distribution?”  All of these questions needed to be considered in light of a process that would, inevitably, seek to automate the answers. Processes and policies that had heretofore been entrusted to individuals within the organization would need to be formalized so that a system might manage them; decisions that had been made on an ad hoc basis now needed to be seen as patterns that formed policies. And as we found answers to our questions, the scope of the project inevitably grew.
    • Make sure we ask these questions that non-profits don't always ask in development. Last couple of sentences is crucial to understand because an automated process is hard to overcome once it is established. - on 2009-11-04

  • Despite the shift from a return-on-investment to a mission-driven rationale, the project retained its inventory and cataloguing elements, building into each phase activities intended to develop additional inventory and enhance cataloguing. The decision to maintain this emphasis on content development has helped the project to achieve widespread support throughout the institution.

  • The largest and most comprehensive type of DAM system provides complete, enterprise-wide support with a broad range of functionality and configurability. Typically these DAM systems are configured uniquely to support specific customer workflows, provide branded user interfaces and integrate seamlessly with other enterprise systems such as fulfillment systems, authentication systems, transaction servers or Internet portals.

    The DAM system is installed on a customer's hardware and has dedicated administrators ensuring its smooth operation. What separates these DAM solutions from departmental systems is the ability to support multiple databases or distributed repositories as well as distribute specific application services on dedicated servers in multiple locations.
