For our newspaper- or magazine-publishing customers, publication metadata is among the most important: Name of the publication, publication date, page number, section name etc. (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digicol.com\/publication-data\/\">DC-X publication data<\/a>, based on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prismstandard.org\/specifications\/3.0\/PRISM_Basic_Metadata_3.0.htm\">PRISM standard<\/a>). This metadata applies to pages (usually single-page PDF files), articles (plain or formatted text), images, graphics\/logos and ads \u2013 which are all stored as separate assets.<\/p>\n<p>While all that metadata is neatly stored in the DAM and highly useful, accessing the newspaper archives within the DAM doesn\u2019t feel like reading a newspaper at all. You have to perform a search to get at the pages, and get back a list of individual assets not optimized for reading page by page.<\/p>\n<p>After a few custom implementations, we\u2019re finally releasing the prototype of a newspaper\/magazine browsing view that utilizes the publication metadata. It shows a pair of pages at the top, with buttons to navigate between pages. And it lists the article, image and ad assets that appear on these pages.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll take a few rounds of customer feedback, but I\u2019m confident that we\u2019ll end up with an interface that\u2019s a much more natural fit for our customer\u2019s most valuable assets, their publications!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our DC-X DAM software is one of those DAM systems that (while offering general-purpose DAM functionality) focus on the news\/publishing industry.
