Metadata Management Tool

Metadata is critical to the functionality of a digital asset management (DAM) system. They consist of information that describes and classifies a file, such as title, description, keywords, creation date, and copyrights.

Efficient metadata management enables digital assets to be found precisely and quickly by creating a structured and searchable database. Meta information is always effective when there are larger amounts of data of files/objects to manage.

Modern DAM systems such as the one from ainavio offer advanced metadata management tools that support both automatic and manual metadata generation.
