Introduction

Digital Repository is simply a digital library in which collections are stored in digital formats and accessible over the network.

Digital Asset Management consists of tasks and decision surrounding ingesting, annotating, cataloging, storage and retrieval of digital assets.

Fedora Repository

Stands for Flexible Extensible Digital Object Repository Architecture.

Contents are stored in form of digital objects or models.

Content Model

The rules for the configuration of elements or digital contents allowable in instances of an element type.

Classification of the contents How our intellectual work may be expressed, so

that we could communicate our intellectual works effectively to others.

A PPT is hardly any different from a Video Game without the proper software to run them.

Fedora CModel

Content classification to facilitate discovery. Validation usually at ingest or modification. Template when content is created

Conclusion

The presented Asset Management System provides a complete Asset Management Solution to this project.

The Asset Management System built as a part of this project can be used as a baseline.

The proposed content model not only captures most of the content and meta-data related requirements but also suggests a mechanism for delivering those contents.
