Digital Media Metadata Handling – Upping the Value of Assets

Metadata have a great deal to offer and your company can benefit from this when structuring its digital media. The addition of metadata turns your digital media into an asset, i.e. an object of value, that can be retrieved and used again and again. Metadata are additional pieces of information that place an image or video in a specific context. Depending on the type of digital media, this information can include author, sources, keywords or contacts.

Custom metadata fields

Metadata tailored to each image type.

Define a metadata set for each subtype, with the fields your team needs for products or people.

Metadata in a DAM uses targeted searches to save on effort

Digital asset management (DAM) is an effective tool for quickly and easily reading metadata from digital media. Compared to manually reading metadata, working with a DAM system saves you significant time and effort.

In a DAM system, digital media are instantly available and can be specifically searched for metadata. Campaign or project materials can be collated in a highly efficient way, thus offering a clearer overview.
