Dear colleagues, Further to this thread on the implementation and extension of Digital Asset Management systems for use in cultural heritage institutions, I wanted to draw your attention to some work we have been doing in Europe to extend the SPECTRUM Collections Management Standard to encompass DAMS integration.
SPECTRUM Digital Asset Management is an extension to the core SPECTRUM workflows which shows how DAMS processes, metadata and quality-control can be aligned to or managed within more traditional Collections Management Systems. The core SPECTRUM DAM documentation is available from http://www.collectionstrust.org.uk/spectrum/spectrum-digital-asset-management and there is also a page of supporting materials (including a 'How to' guide on selecting and implementing a DAMS for museums) at http://www.collectionstrust.org.uk/spectrum/spectrum-dam-resources. A core element of SPECTRUM DAM is working with museums to assess and make better use of the DAMS functionality within their existing Collections Management Systems, since there is often an existing strong relationship with a trusted provider and there is less risk of duplicating functions between the DAMS and the CMS. To support this, we have extended the SPECTRUM Partner Scheme to create a new SPECTRUM DAM Partner Scheme, which provides a listing of DAMS and CMS providers that have a proven track-record of implementation and integration into museum systems. Information about the SPECTRUM DAM Partners Scheme and the current members is available from http://www.collectionstrust.org.uk/spectrum/spectrum-dam-partners. All best, and I hope this is a useful update.

Can you post the information you receive regarding your inquiry below? Thanks, Deb Fanslow http://www.debfanslow.com A question for those of you who've implemented a digital asset management system at your institution or elsewhere... I'm trying to find or generate a list of digital asset management features that are specific to museums, libraries, and archives. All DAMS deliver a pretty core set of functions, but I'd like to know how you're extending these software packages to suit the needs of cultural institutions. These features might include internal and external uses and reflect either stand-alone or integrated installations. Please feel free to reply to me offlist.
