Leveraging the Power of a New DAM by Creating Water-Tight Photo Metadata Schemas for Better Searchability
In describing still photography stored in the DAM, we use metadata that illustrates what the image is ‘of’, ‘about’ and ‘related to’. This is all well and good but as a DAM Manager we are often forced to cram these different types of descriptive metadata into one field. This is not a great solution.
In the process of leveraging the power of a new digital asset management system at Cedars-Sinai, we are separating these different types of descriptive metadata into three different fields with three different search weights to better serve our user base.
In this session, Joseph Henry, Digital Asset Librarian, Photo/Video at Cedars-Sinai will share the new processes to improve searchability and streamline workflows.
Before attending a HS DAM event, I never knew the true impact or importance of DAM. For the first time it felt like I wasn't alone, but part of something so much greater. I left inspired and motivated to take what I had learned and apply it our DAM system. I look forward to the event every year!
I have over 10 years of experiences as a DAM, and I am always looking forward to the Festival of DAM or any other event organized by Henry Stewart. The conferences are always presented by experts of the matter. Anyone interested in DAM should attend.
HS DAM provided a network of like-minded passionate professionals that were so generous & honest with their front line experiences of working and creating in the DAM universe, Bravo.
