There are several books on Content Management Systems (CMS). But there are only very few books on the market covering the topic of Digital asset management (DAM). Three books stands out:
“Professional Content Management System: handling Digital Media Assets”, “Digitial Asset Management: how to realize value of video and image libaries” and “Expanding a Digital Content Management System: for the Growing Digital Media Enterprise”.
Each book describes the subject in different perspectives. The “Digitial Asset Management: how to realize value of video and image libaries” by David Austerberry is more like introduction to DAM and related concepts and technologies. While “Expanding a Digital Content Management System: for the Growing Digital Media Enterprise” by my former collegaue and friend, Magan Authur is discussing how to plan and implement a large scale digital content management systems.
The Professional Content Management Systems by A Mathure and P. Thomas empersizes much more on (and deeper in) technical and applicaiton design aspects. Besides the basic concepts, it covers a wide range of topics on DAM from user requirements;video production use cases and workflows; media formats and standards; system architecture and integrations; hardware infrastructure and application requirements. The deepth of the discusions on systems architecture of both software and hardware are incrediable. The application modules and use cases scenarios presented for broadcasting industry are very well illustrated. The book reveals fully the authors vivid imagation, creative and industry experience.
Even though I may not completely agree with every piece of the design described in the book, some of the core concepts and use cases described are really valuable. (I have built one of succussful commercial enterprise DAM system used by by many large enterpises in broadcasting, advertising and Coorporate Marketing before this book was published).
I especially recommend this book to Product Managers and System Architect who are trying to build a DAM system; or trying to build applications on top of the DAM System. I have read ths book twice since I brought it over 1 year ago. It’s still very refreshing to read it.
disclaimer: I have no association with the authors of the book (don’t know them) or BlueOrder.
