Abstract

Digital Asset Management (DAM), the management of digital content so that it can be cataloged, searched and re-purposed, is extremely challenging for organizations that rely on image handling and expect to gain business value from these assets. Metadata plays a crucial role in their management, and XML, with its inherent support for structural representation, is an ideal technology for this. This paper analyzes the capabilities of a native XML database solution via the development of a "proof of concept" and describes implementation requirements, strategy, and advantages and disadvantages of this solution.
