Digital Asset Management for the Hong Kong Maritime Museum DIGITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT FOR THE HONG KONG MARITIME MUSEUM By Andrew Cunningham Wyatt Gray Greg Mollnow Rebecca Rollinson Date: March 2, 2012 1 Digital Asset Management for the Hong Kong Maritime Museum An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science In cooperation with the HONG KONG MARITIME MUSEUM On March 2, 2012 Submitted by: _ Andrew Cunningham (RBE/ECE) _ Wyatt Gray (IMGD) _ Greg Mollnow (CE) _ Rebecca Rollinson (ChE) Submitted to: _ Prof. Chrysanthe Demetry, Advisor _ Prof. Richard Vaz, Advisor This report represents the work of four WPI undergraduate students, submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. i ABSTRACT The Hong Kong Maritime Museum is moving to a larger facility and lacks a system to manage images, video and other digital assets. Our goal was to recommend a strategy for improved digital asset management. Through interviews with staff and research into available systems, we identified solutions to the museum's challenges. We proposed two potential solutions for the museum along with standardized cataloguing and keywording systems. We also captured and produced media that could be used to bolster the museum's upcoming website. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The undertaking of a project with this large a scope cannot be accomplished by four people. We had to rely on others to gain valuable knowledge in many social and technical areas, which proved vital to the way we carried out our methods and arrived at our conclusions. We would like to thank Robert Trio, our liaison to the Hong Kong Maritime Museum. He provided us with invaluable context and insights for our work in the museum environment, which aided in multiple aspects of our project. We would also like to thank Kitty But, the librarian at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, for her advice and insights on the importance of cataloging systems and keyword lists, and Fiona Mak, the museum’s video intern, for helping us develop storylines and collect video and photos for the “The Sea Matters to Me” video series. We would like to acknowledge Richard Wesley, Dr. Stephen Davies, and the rest of the staff of the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, who played crucial roles in the development and completion of our project. Through their interviews, patience, and cooperation, they were able to help us complete our project and recommend a solution that will hopefully benefit them in the long term. We greatly appreciated their accepting attitudes and willingness to work with us regularly. Although not all of the companies we worked with became part of our final recommendation, they all played an invaluable role helping us to understand the differences and technical details of each system. Particularly, we wish to thank the staff at Canto Cumulus, Montala (ResourceSpace hosting service), WebDAM, and Lookat.ME. These companies gave us their time and assistance to help us arrive at our conclusions. Finally, we would like to thank the three professors that have been a crucial part of our project. First, we would like to thank Professor R. Creighton Peet, who helped prepare us for living in Hong Kong, as well as the early stages of our project. We would then like to thank Professors Chrysanthe Demetry and Richard Vaz, who helped us during our time in Hong Kong. These three professors provided invaluable advice and assistance throughout the entire IQP process. iii AUTHORSHIP Throughout our report’s development, we attempted to establish a functional work flow to draft and revise each iteration of our paper. Each of us had personal preferences and comfort levels regarding each method, and we were able to arrive at a solution that fit well with all of our writing styles. The strategy we established for the writing process included multiple stages of revision each time we created new content. The following chart shows the steps we followed for new content creation: 1. Break up new material into sections based on individual interests and knowlege 2. Generate new "raw" material individually 3. Trade sections and review each other's sections objectively 4. Compile document on a big screen and read through entire draft as a group from start to finish We found that this was an effective strategy to incorporate the strengths of each writer. Both Andrew and Wyatt were the primary researchers in the DAM selection process. Therefore, they were the primary writers of the original content on the DAM selection sections and the technical aspects of the paper. Gregory took the lead role in writing the sections about the creation of video content (The Sea Matters to Me). Rebecca took the leading role in researching and writing content for the metadata and keywording systems. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ........................................................................................................................................... ii Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................................ iii Authorship...................................................................................................................................... iv Table of Contents ............................................................................................................................ v Table of Figures ........................................................................................................................... viii Table of Tables ............................................................................................................................ viii Executive Summary ....................................................................................................................... ix 1 Introduction .................................................................................................................................. 1 2 Background .................................................................................................................................. 3 2.1 Digital Curation at Museums ................................................................................................ 3 2.1.1 Digital Curation Definition ............................................................................................. 3 2.1.2 The Digital Curation Lifecycle for Museums ................................................................. 3 2.1.3 Benefits of Digital Curation in Project Management ..................................................... 4 2.2 Status of Digital Curation at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum (HKMM) ......................... 5 2.2.1 Introduction to the HKMM and Its Move to Pier 8 ........................................................ 6 2.2.2 HKMM’s Current System for Managing Digital Assets ................................................ 8 2.3 The Case for a Digital Asset Management (DAM) System at the HKMM .......................... 9 2.3.1 What is a DAM System? ................................................................................................ 9 2.3.2 Searchability ................................................................................................................. 11 2.3.3 Shareability ................................................................................................................... 11 2.3.4 Version Control ............................................................................................................ 12 2.4 DAM Implementation Considerations ................................................................................ 12 2.4.1 Cloud vs. Local Hosting ............................................................................................... 13 2.4.2 Metadata Systems in DAMs ......................................................................................... 14 3 Methodology .............................................................................................................................. 15 3.1 Creating Digital Media Content .......................................................................................... 15 3.1.1 Choosing and Capturing Video Content ....................................................................... 15 3.1.2 Editing the Videos ........................................................................................................ 16 3.2 Selecting a Digital Asset Management System for the HKMM ......................................... 16 3.2.1 HKMM Staff Requirements for a DAM....................................................................... 17 3.2.2 Comparing DAM Systems............................................................................................ 19 v 3.2.3 Populating and Testing the Database ............................................................................ 20 3.3 Choosing a Metadata System and Keyword List ................................................................ 21 3.3.1 Choosing a Metadata System ....................................................................................... 21 3.3.2 Choosing a Controlled Keyword List ........................................................................... 22 4 Video Content to Promote the HKMM Museum ....................................................................... 24 4.1 Logistics of Video Content ................................................................................................

  • Erweiterte Metadaten-Unterstützung Von Cumulus 8.0
    PRODUKTINFORMATION: Erweiterte Metadaten-Unterstützung von Cumulus 8.0 Canto Cumulus unterstützt jedes Dateiformat. Das heißt, für jede Datei kann Cumulus mindestens die Basis-Meta- daten auslesen, die vom Betriebssystem bereitgestellt werden, wie zum Beispiel den Namen einer Datei, Format, Größe, Bearbeitungsdatum usw. Sie können also jede Datei, die auf Ihrem Rechner oder Server gespeichert werden kann, auch mit Cumulus verwalten. Und für zahlreiche Dateiformate bietet Cumulus sogar erweiterte Unterstützung. Erweiterte Metadaten-Unterstützung für ein Dateiformat bedeutet: • Mit Hilfe eines oder mehrerer Filter kann Cumulus weitere Informationen zusätzlich zu den vom Betriebssystem ausgelesenen Metadaten aus der Datei auslesen, zum Beispiel die Dauer von Audio-/Video-Aufnahmen, in Lay- outs verwendete Schriftarten, den Text von Präsentationen und anderen Dokumenten und vieles mehr. • Zusätzlich können weitere Funktionalitäten wie das Generieren von Voransichten und Zurückschreiben von Meta- daten in Assets möglich sein. Dieses Dokument listet alle Dateiformate auf, für die eine erweiterte Metadaten-Unterstützung zur Verfügung steht (in allen Cumulus Editionen). Es gibt kein anderes Digital Asset Management System, das für so viele Dateitypen erweiterte Metadaten-Unterstützung bietet wie Cumulus.
