In response to Ralph Windsor’s call for contributions, and with the help of ImageSnippet’s Margaret Warren, I have written an article for DAM News: Improving DAM Interoperability In 2017 Make sure to also read Ralph Windsor’s accompanying piece DAM Interoperability In 2017 – Where Do We Go From Here?. I’m looking forward to your feedback…

Field values – inside an SQL database column, an XML tag, or an image’s embedded metadata – are the “atoms” of a data model: the smallest unit. For example, in this record: … the number “82,175,700” is the field value in the “Germany” country record’s “population” field. Just as with atoms, there’s a bit more…

This week, during the Digital Collections Customer Days (for the DACH region, i.e. German-speaking) in Hamburg, I did a talk on “DAM Trends 2017”. Here’s the slides (or download a PDF of the presentation): “Artifical Intelligence, Semantic Data and Distributed Content”: Sounds a bit much just before lunch, doesn’t it? But let’s just take a…

Better interoperability between Digital Asset Management and adjacent systems is one of my favorite topics (see my post on RDF and schema.org for DAM interoperability). I believe that this requires DAM vendors to work on standards or common “best practices” together. That’s why I love talking interoperability with DAM vendor people (and while we’re at…

In April 2016, I wrote in Distributed DAM: From silo to search engine: “I wonder whether a modern DAM system should let us “manage” decentralized or distributed assets: We should to be able to not just find them within the DAM, but also add/edit metadata and rights information. […] Wouldn’t it be great to sign…

My blog is a mixture of musings on Digital Asset Management, programming stuff, and diary entries written mostly for myself. This is such a diary post, an update to my side projects in 2015. The DAM Guru webinar Margaret Warren, Demian Hess and I had done on Linked Data in DAM had a lasting impression…

Here’s the last month’s Digital Asset Management (DAM) articles which had a lasting impression on me – picked from the constant stream of blog posts floating by on Planet DAM. Part of my LIS education was old school “Googling”: running around a scientific library, searching the shelves for a book or journal containing the right…

Here’s the last month’s Digital Asset Management articles which had a lasting impression on me – picked from the constant stream of blog posts you can see float by on Planet DAM. Taxonomy is a common theme this month: Taxonomy, Metadata, Tags and Controlled Vocabularies, an excerpt from David Diamond’s book, serves as a good…

I’ve been thinking a lot about company culture recently. I believe that there’s enormous potential in reflecting on and improving the culture; you’ve certainly heard the famous saying “culture eats strategy for breakfast” attributed to Peter Drucker. So, what is company culture (or corporate culture)? “Culture isn’t about what gets done, it’s about how and…
