Open Source Digital Asset Management (DAM) Software Reviews

In this article, we introduce the main open source DAM solutions that are currently available (16 at the latest count). Most products mentioned here are primarily web based. In some cases desktop clients may also be provided as an alternative mode of interaction also. Based on feedback received, we have recently changed the order of the products so that pure web DAM systems are shown first, followed by ECM suites and then preservation oriented solutions. In determining which products are suitable to have the description Open Source applied, we have assessed each vendor to identify if they use a licence that is OSI approved as the main criteria for inclusion. We intend to keep this page up to date with new entrants to the market and adjust reviews based on deeper investigation of each product and any information that might come to light. Any vendors who are not listed and believe they should be included may contact us using our contact form and request a listing. Pure Web DAM Pure Web DAM

Digital Visual Asset Management Beyond the Library Asset Management | Viewpoint Digital Visual Asset Management Beyond the Library DAM: Academics can now curate and maintain image collections that will complement their institution’s digital assets. By Trent Batson, Mary Grush11/09/11 Visual imagery is inundating us: Everyone, it seems, has at least a mobile phone with a camera. It’s not merely the location of image collections or who “owns” them that can put the future of these assets in question. Individuals and groups on campus need to be able to maintain their own image collections in ways that both protect their digital visual assets and benefit the institution as a whole. Will digital asset management (DAM) systems become more widely available and the interfaces made simple enough so that digital visual image collections can be developed and maintained by individuals or groups outside of the library or a media department? DAM for the Many

e-Journals: Archiving and Preservation Briefing paper Libraries have in the past assumed preservation responsibility for material they collect, while publishers have supplied the material they need. These well understood divisions of labour do not work in the digital environment and especially so when dealing with licensed e-journals. The crucial difference between licensing access to an e-journal, as opposed to purchasing and then owning a print journal, is that, unless there are explicit and legally binding arrangements for archiving, it cannot be guaranteed that online access will continue indefinitely. Despite these major concerns, the trend towards e-only access is continuing at a rapid rate. These trends make finding practical solutions to the well documented challenges of preserving electronic publications a matter of urgency. In the UK, the National Electronic Site Licence Initiative (NESLI) licence has included archiving clauses for a number of years which have provided a measure of reassurance for libraries.

NotreDAM | Open Source Digital Asset Management Call for paper: workshop on workflow systems in e-Science 4th International Workshop onWorkflow Systems in e-Science in conjunction with 9th IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid ( May 2009, Aims and scope The development in Internet and Grid technologies has greatly enhanced the activities in scientific research; more and more new scientific advances are achieved by experiments which consist of complex sets of computations and large volumes of data. The workshop on Workflow Systems in e-Science (WSES) focuses on practical aspects of scientific workflow management systems: design, implementation, applications in all fields of computational science, interoperability among workflows and the e-Science infrastructure, e.g., knowledge framework, for workflow management. WSES09 is the fourth edition in the series of the workshop. Topics Paper submission and publication Program 1. : (room 3) Session 1: Workflow technologies and applications Dr.

ETD Guide - DL Curriculum Project From DL Curriculum Project Note: The ETD Guide wiki site is undergoing major revisions during spring 2011. The NDLTD ETD Guide Revision Team apologizes for any inconvenience. Historic ETD Guide 1998 - 2008 (PDF) Introduction Universities What are the key concerns and their resolution? Assessment and Measurement Students Technical Issues Training The Future Improving Education and Understanding of NDLTD Paper and data submitted to ETD Symposium '07 by the digital library curriculum development group. Abstract: To understand ETDs, what NDLTD is, how it works, and the benefits of NDLTD, it is necessary to educate those involved, such as students who will create and submit their ETDs, as well as the library staff members who will be participating in NDLTD and administering their local system. Revised DL educational module framework: Based on our analysis of hundreds of DL papers, we identified 10 core topical areas, and 43 sub-areas.
