• A way to manage all of the knowledge that an
  organization possesses.
• Accomplished through Digital Asset Management
  (DAM).
• The art of archiving

3
Benefits of (DAM)

• ROI on DAM is between 8-141.
• Labor reduction - no redundancy.
• Reuse of existing assets from previous projects.
• Faster turnaround time.
• Workflow efficiency.

4
Digital Library

• A way to store and retrieve knowledge via online
  networks.
• Electronic repository for
• Textual and numeric data
• Scanned images and graphics
• Audio video recordings

5
Digital Library

• Who uses a digital library?
• Companies e.g., HP, Nike
• Governmental nongovernmental organizations. You
  have access to digital libraries for academic,
  research, and cultural resources.

Metadata

• Information about a set of data
• Data about data
• Structured, encoded information that describes,
  explains, or locates an information resource
• Aids in identification, discovery, assessment and
  management of the described entities
• Leads to discovery of relevant information

  of a book
• Author
• Title

• Dewey call number
• Brief synopsis
• Keywords

• Search through the cards using any of the
  criteria
• Location for book will be listed on card
• May be multiple results

Three Categories of Metadata

• Descriptive- Describes a resource for purposes
  such as search and retrieval.
• Structural- Indicates the connection between
  objects to create a logical tie.
• Administrative- Helps manage the information or
  control access to the information.

10
Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI)

• Defines a set of elements to be used by authors
  to describe their resources
• Created for simple resource discovery
• Continually refined by an international,
  cross-disciplinary group of professionals
• Easy for web authors to adopt
• No specific order necessary
• Encourages the use of encoding and vocabulary
  schemes

11
Two Types of Dublin Core

• Simple Dublin Core- title, creator, subject,
  description, publisher contributor, date,type,
  format, identifier, source, language, relation,
  coverage, rights
• Qualified Dublin Core- Includes all of the above
  fifteen plus audience, provenance and rights
  holder

12
Periodic Harvesting

• Scheduled harvesting/uploading of data (e.g. one
  a day)
• Documents are stored on the harvesting server
• Searching is done on the server.

13
Federated Harvesting

• Searches as a request is made (on the fly)
• No data are stored on the server.
• Data are transferred from a remote source
• Effective with smaller amounts of data, large
  quantities can bog down the system
