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.
