Services Supported by Metadata

 

Metadata enables three primary types of services for digital assets:
1) preservation, 2) management, and 3) access.

Preservation services include migration, emulation, persistence, authentication, and normalization when needed. Preservation services support the long-term retention of digital assets.

Management services include import, dissemination, statistical reporting, secure storage, data monitoring and maintenance of relationships between files. Management services allow for streamlined input, output and monitoring of data contained in the DAMS.

Access services include searching, browsing, authentication, delivery and rendering of assets. Access services support long-term access and reuse of digital assets.
