I'd like to introduce our open source software, OpenEdit DAM. http://www.openeditDAM.com OpenEdit is a JAVA based 100% pure web DAM solution and can be run on any platform. We have been working with corporations and organizations in need of DAM for several years which has allowed us to develop a robust digital asset management solution. OpenEdit DAM users include single users as well as those needing an enterprise-wide DAM system. OpenEdit DAM allows you to manage and share all of your digital files, you can upload, download, search, share, etc., it's a very feature rich application. OpenEdit is free to download, install and use, technical support is free via our online user forum. Please take a look at OpenEdit and let me know what you think!

I think it looks like a really promising project. The interface is very nice, and the code and data structures behind it seem straightforward enough that it can easily be modified and customized. I think there are a few "industrial strength" features I'd like to see added (like easily accessible permanent URLs for resources, for example.) But by and large I could see it working well -- and am considering the possibility of adopting it, at least on a trial basis. I particularly like some of the features it has for allowing users to group resources into sets and then share the resulting sets with others. The original developer is very active on the mailing list, and is hiring out for consulting gigs to add features. He's also running a hosted installation of the software for those who want that -- but unlike some pseudo-open source products, he seems very willing to accept contributions from the public, and the software is pretty easy to get going on your own as well. So it seems like a fairly good open source model. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else who has looked at this. -David Dwiggins Systems Librarian/Archivist Historic New England ddwiggins at historicnewengland dot org On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 9:24 AM, Fournier, Melissa <melissa.fournier at yale.edu> wrote: > On the same topic, has anyone else out there looked at, or is using, ResourceSpace open source DAM (http://www.montala.net/resourcespace.php) ? > > Melissa > > Melissa Gold Fournier > Associate Museum Registrar > YALE CENTER FOR BRITISH ART > > melissa.fournier at yale.edu > > > -----Original Message----- > From: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu [mailto:mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu] On Behalf Of Ari Davidow > Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 7:22 PM > To: Museum Computer Network Listserv > Subject: Re: [MCN-L] open source OpenEdit DAM > > Cool!

It =does= solve myriad problems for archivists (but requires some extra investment to take advantage of those solutions--you really need a JPEG2000 server), so I don't see it going away--perhaps slowly getting some support in tools, and slowly replacing TIFF as the archival format of choice. ari On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 9:46 AM, Fournier, Melissa <melissa.fournier at yale.edu> wrote: > I'd like to throw out a quick query to the list about JPEG2000.

This may help explain some of the drivers that influence our digitization process. I hope this helps. Best, Dianne CCP Priorities for Imaging Collections: The Center's bi-monthly curatorial team meetings provide a forum where collections are discussed by knowledgeable staff and prioritized for scanning. The photographers noted below do not represent all the Center's collections that have been digitized to date, but the list provides an example of driving forces that influence how CCP prioritizes the scanning of collections. (Note some bodies of work will naturally fall into more than one of the driving forces noted below which adds weight to the priority) 1. Core Archives: (100% completed) Ansel Adams Harry Callahan Frederick Sommer (check new acquisitions) Wynn Bullock Aaron Siskind 2. Archive/Donor Relations/Contracts: Milton Rogovin (100%) Rosalind Solomon (80% completed) Brett Weston (95% completed) Alma Lavenson (not fully accessioned) 3.
