[MCN-L] Need a list of DAMS options
Hi Perian, We're using Luna Insight at the Brooklyn Museum and have programmed a two-way path to TMS, our collection management system. Currently about 58,000 object images; 9,000 exhibition installation views; 9000 images from archives (plus a few from libraries). Object data is written from TMS to Luna on a weekly basis (too many records, too long an indexing procedure to do it nightly) and media records/thumbnails/links to full-size images added to TMS from Luna nightly. Our Collection on the Web pulls images and image data from Luna, object data from TMS, and other content from a CMS. All of this done by our talented folks in Technology. See the end result at http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/collections/ and lots of posts by Shelley Bernstein (and a few by me) under community/blogs/bloggers.

Robin, I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but it might help if you said what you were trying to do instead of describing parts of what you think you need in order to do it.

It also needs to be able to save each file with the same ID tag for future upload to a database as one record. From what I can tell the media player is the missing link for building this in flash or AIR. If you know of another program that can handle this, or a pre-existing application I would be very grateful for any info.

SFMOMA is using MediaBin from Interwoven (which has just been bought by Autonomy). It is talking with our CMS and after a slow start-up process seems to be working fine. There are a number of other museums (Met, IMA, MIA) using MediaBin, they may want to chime in as well. The short version is, it's working for us so far but for more details, contact Layna White. It'll be interesting to see what you come up with--maybe a compiled list for the MCN website?
