At the Museum of Science we've been slowly testing out Resource Space with individual departments and all tests are going very well. We'll soon be expanding this to the rest of the institution. The weak spots we identified in initial testing have been addressed in the most current version. If interested I'd be glad to make a virtual intro to the IIT project manager who has been working on this project. Marc E.

We've been extremely happy with it. We have a separate collections management system that handles the primary data about museum objects, archival objects, etc. But we have integrated the two systems so that you can simply enter a resource ID into the cataloging record to pull in an image from the DAMs. We also sync the files stored in ResourceSpace out to Amazon S3 for backup, and then re-purpose these backup copies to serve the images for our online collections database. ResourceSpace is not primarily geared for providing public access, although it does have a guest user mode and I suppose you could use this to provide some level of access to materials.

We've been extremely happy with it. We have a separate collections management system that handles the primary data about museum objects, archival objects, etc. But we have integrated the two systems so that you can simply enter a resource ID into the cataloging record to pull in an image from the DAMs. We also sync the files stored in ResourceSpace out to Amazon S3 for backup, and then re-purpose these backup copies to serve the images for our online collections database. ResourceSpace is not primarily geared for providing public access, although it does have a guest user mode and I suppose you could use this to provide some level of access to materials. And it's also not quite as rigorous in terms of metadata standards as some other systems might be. But it works extremely well, is very flexible, and, as a PHP/MySQL application, is very easy to modify if needed. It also has a plugin architecture, so customizations can often be made without doing much to the underlying code. Since we started using it a couple of years ago, I've become an occasional developer on the project, so I suppose I'm not entirely unbiased.

We have a separate collections management system that handles the primary data about museum objects, archival objects, etc. But we have integrated the two systems so that you can simply enter a resource ID into the cataloging record to pull in an image from the DAMs. We also sync the files stored in ResourceSpace out to Amazon S3 for backup, and then re-purpose these backup copies to serve the images for our online collections database.

Hi All, Thought I would chime in with a few good resource recommendations on the topic of DAM. I've been working in the space for almost a decade and it can be extremely daunting to get your head around it, from isolating your requirements to picking the appropriate technology(ies). There is a new group called the DAM Foundation (links below), which is a cross-disciplinary, professional organization, devoted to standardizing and making sense of the world of DAM which would be useful to join and follow. I recently created the DAM List (links below) which is a community contributed list of technical specs on DAM products (which are actually tough to get without jumping through vendor hoops). Here are some other great resources you might want to check out: DAM Foundation (LinkedIn): http://www.linkedin.com/groups?mostPopular=amp;gid=1952873 The Real Story Group (leading content technology analyst group): http://www.realstorygroup.com/ Digital Asset Management (industry Blog): http://digitalassetmanagement.org.uk/ Createasphere (DAM Conference Series): http://createasphere.com/En/explore-expos-conferences.html Henry Stewart - Digital Asset Management Conference Series: http://www.hsconferences.com/dam.aspx Early and Associates: http://www.earley.com/ AIIM: http://www.aiim.org/ The DAM List (Product Tech Specs): http://lealaabbott.com/wp/archives/423 Good Luck!
