Metadata
One of the main factors in the success of a DAM solution is the speedy and intuitive way in which one particular asset can be found again among thousands. In this respect, where images are concerned, it is not the system that plays the decisive role, but rather the exact type of keywording with metadata, which takes place in accordance with standardised catalogues.
Conception as well as accomplishment
VIT knows all of the relevant concepts for keywording with metadata and has successfully provided assistance for dozens of related projects. These typically include support during the development of keyword catalogues and the keywording of stocks of images in accordance with pre-specified criteria.
Definition of keyword catalogues
During the initial phase an attempt is made to define as manageable a number of company-specific, branch-specific and generic keywords as possible. In this respect, classification by means hierarchical categories has commended itself. The phase ends with test runs of the keywording, the creation of easily portable documentation and the training of all persons responsible for keywording.
Indexing by VIT
During a second phase, if requested, high-grade keywording of the databases is carried out directly by VIT – at exceptionally competitive prices. As a managed service VIT also takes on the ongoing keywording of new assets.
