Digital Asset Management
The systematic organisation, description, storage and retrieval of a body of image files.
In depth
A management system is not a piece of software but a set of decisions: where files live, how they are named, what metadata they carry, how they are backed up and how they will survive a change of software. The test of a good one is whether a specific frame from five years ago can be found in under a minute.
Examples in practice
A photographer locates a specific frame shot in 2016 by searching two keywords and a date range.
