Fran Alexander For digital asset management, search is not enough
Jinfo Article

Abstract

Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems bring the promise of increasingly sophisticated search techniques but all that glistens may not be gold. Fran Alexander examines the pros and cons of tagging, content-based image retrieval, face recognition, digital fingerprinting and screen-to-text, and concludes that they are very exciting but may be in the category of 'nice to have' rather than business critical.
