[MCN-L] Need a list of DAMS options

[Misunas, Marla]

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?

Hi Perian, we are investigating this too and I look forward to hearing
more from others on the list.

This link has a good summary (as of 2007/2008 I think) of the commercial
DAMS market and trends: http://tiny.cc/K6q6s

Hi everyone:

 

Sorry if this is a redundant question, but we're sticking our toe into
DAMS territory soon and I'm being asked to outline all of the various
options.

 

I am currently aware of:

Commercial DAMS:

Extensis

Luna Insight

me

 

Open Source DAMS:

OpenEdit

ResourceSpace

Razuna

(Omeka & Wordpress)

 

I'm specifically looking for the range of products available, along with
reviews. We're trying to figure out how to get the DAMS to talk to our
CIS (IDEA at ALM, which uses MS SQL and does have some sort of API
available with it, so it should be do-able), but we'll likely need to
get a programmer to do that for us.

 

Thanks in advance for your help. Feel free to reply to me offlist. I'll
be setting up a Google Docs to organize the information, and I'd be
happy to share that list once it's available.
