[MCN-L] Need a list of DAMS options

Mon Mar 23 06:47:00 PST 2009

MoMA is using NetXposure Image Portal http://www.netx.net/
It is SQL based and browser accessed. After much internal work, our database
administrator has it nicely plumbed to TMS.
Our DAM currently holds 60,000 images of collection objects and we are now
beginning to load another 18,000 installation views. We¹ve done an initial
limited roll out with good response and further tweaking, and we officially
launch the program on April 6.
The interface has something of a beta feel, although getting better.
Although the vendor has limited experience with cultural heritage
institutions they have, sometimes slowly, responded to our needs. This
solution was considerably less expensive than going with the DAM
frontrunners.

Can I bring your attention to Asset Index+ from SSL

www.ssl.co.uk

This is a UK based system but they have a lot of experience of working in
the cultural heritage sector.

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.
