DAMS – The Living LabUniversity of Michigan, Media UnionDigital Media Tools Laboratory
Leveraging Digital Rich Media Assets for Collaborative Learning, Teaching and Research
What is the Vision for a Digital Asset Management System at the UM?
•Create a robust infrastructure to ingest, manage, store and publish digital rich-media assets and their associated metadata.
•Streamline the “workflow” required to create new works with digital rich-media assets.
•Build an environment where assets are easily searched, shared, edited and repurposed in the academic model.
•Provide a campus-wide platform for future application of rights declaration techniques (or other IP tools) to existing assets.
• Infrastructure level• Tuned for rich media (time-based)
– video– audio – 3D VR modeling and animation
• Capability for non time-based data (text, numerical data, still images)• Metadata collection and management: automated or semi-automated• Campus-wide availability• Not primarily a content management tool nor production tool• Coordinate with planned campus storage management practice• Distributed management (authorization, roles, access lists)• Integrated with centralized campus data services• Plan for digital rights-declaration/management services
Orientation of DAMS at the UM
DAMS Background
• 2000 – Summer – UMTV looking for video archive solution
• 2000 – Fall – UM team visit to CNN. Eureka! – the “indoor plumbing” of rich media asset management.
• 2001 – Spring – Digital Asset Management defined as a possible university infrastructure (PIRC report influence).
• 2001 – July – Limited proof of concept authorized.
• 2001 – December - Proof of concept complete.
• 2001 – Winter – Informix purchased by IBM. Ascential fate uncertain.
• 2002 – Spring-summer: Cross-campus team develops RFP.
• 2002 – July – RFP issued for DAMS Living Lab.
• 2002 – Fall – Five finalists narrowed to three vendor teams: Bearing-Point (KPMG Consulting)+Documentum; Sun+Artesia; IBM+Ancept. Site demos and Web tests continue to March, 2003.
• 2003 – March – IBM+Ancept selected for final negotiations by 8-unit team.
• 2003 – Spring – Candidates for Affiliate partnerships sought.
• 2003 – August – Hardware and software install begins in Living Lab.
• IBM and our identified partners will deliver an end-to-end digital asset management system to the “Living Lab” as a working demonstration environment.
• IBM and the University of Michigan will identify areas for collaborative research projects around subjects such as digital rights, open standards, and learning technologies.
• IBM and the University of Michigan will use the Lab to support the delivery of pilot projects that will be used to explore a variety of existing and emerging digital asset management technologies.
• IBM and the University of Michigan will co-create a marketing and communications program to promote the Lab’s efforts across campus, to the Big Ten CIC, to other higher education organizations and the Merlot consortium.

Affiliates’ Project Highlights
1. The School of Business will create online video modules that deliver basic business concepts. Students will review the modules prior to class, and faculty will preserve classroom instruction time for more advanced concepts.
2. The School of Dentistry will digitize, index and place online a collection of dental anatomy and oral pathology images, and will digitize and index videos that demonstrate dental procedures. The project will greatly streamline the retrieval and re-use of these materials and replace cumbersome manual processes, such as checking out physical videotapes.
3. The School of Literature, Science, and the Arts will begin to digitize and post online one of the world's larger history of art collections (more than 450,000 images), including an existing catalogue of 310,000 items. Approximately 4,000 images from the African collection will be digitized and catalogued to explore the best curatorial and educational practices. The online digital versions of these valuable artifacts will be easy to search and deliver to classroom, desktop, and class websites. Faculty will have greatly increased access to materials, and thus a greater ability to make associations between pieces.

Community Support
Lessons Learned - ACLs
Corporate DAMS Model • Assets held centrally• Access, roles and privileges managed centrally• Metadata frameworks – monolithic
University DAMS Model• Federated ownership of assets
(individuals, courses, faculty, departments, etc.)• Distributed management of access, privileges and roles• Federated metadata schema• Agnostic user interface(s) re: privileges, ownership
Lessons LearnedIngest

Lessons Learned Policy
• FERPA - Family Education Rights & Privacy Act
• HIPPA - Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act
• Copyright - Rights Declaration
• Storage
1 Video Logger metadata channels are visible but not searchable in AMS.
Stellent has committed to integrating this capability. It exists in some custom installations already. Will take time. May be released with next version of AMS Media Server.
2 End users and support staff cannot define ACLs. Only system administrators of Content Manager, the middleware layer, can create ACLs.
IBM Content Manager team has an internal proposal to develop User Defined ACLs. As described it will meet our needs for access control and privilege administration to be distributed to end users. The timeline, assuming the proposal goes forward will be over a year out. This must be accelerated. It is absolutely impossible to manage this centrally.
Issues To Resolve
Year Two Issues
•Ongoing interface design to meet project and user requirements.Taking into consideration asset management’s inherently different approach of presenting multiple items, each of which may havea different set of user capabilities associated with it.
• Integration with other academic tools or portal.
•Relationship to Library, Institutional Repository and federatedcatalogue searching.
• IP, Copyright, Use and Misuse policy.
•Building a great user experience.
