[MCN-L] CMS/DAM system combos that work
Hi, Cristina, We do this using the ResourceSpace open source DAM and a Minisis collections management system. We build a custom integration between the two that allows users to enter a ResourceID in Minisis and pull in a screen resolution version of an image. I also set it up so that viewers of a record in ResourceSpace can see a list of linked collection objects beneath the resource record. Right now the metadata on the two systems is largely separate, although we've talked about the idea of a bit more automation. (It's tricky, because there is a many to many relationship between collection objects and digital assets.) Both of these systems feed data into our web publishing system, which is based on the Plone Web CMS, Solr search, and a bunch of custom coding. The Minisis records contain the resource IDs, and which tells the web system how to go get the images. We're in the process of implementing some more complex integration to support zoomable images on the website. I'd be happy to tell you more about how we've done this if it would be useful. -David Dwiggins __ David Dwiggins Systems Librarian/Archivist, Historic New England 141 Cambridge Street, Boston, MA 02114 (617) 994-5948 ddwiggins at historicnewengland.org http://www.historicnewengland.org Cristina Lichauco CLichauco at asianart.org 9/28/2012 7:33 PM MCN'rs: We are looking to convert our current CMS from Argus Open Edition to something new. At the same time, we are also planning to implement a Digital Asset Management system (we have none) for object images as well as other media resources. I would be very interested in hearing from institutions, particularly art museums, that have a DAM that plays well with your CMS. What combination of products to you use, and do they integrate well with one another? How involved is it to get data from the CMS and DAM into other systems, such as your web content manager? We have about 19,000 object records that we will be coverting, and many terabytes of images and video. I'd love to hear what you use. Thanks very much.

Hi, We're investigating a similar need, has anyone on the list had experience with Vernon Piction playing well together? Thanks.
