- 7. 7 STEP PATH TO DISCOVERY & REUSE Before proceeding to implement a discovery and reuse solution, ask yourself the following questions: 1)Have I identified how I’m going to use my digital assets? 2)Are my digital asset repositories managed? 3)Are my digital assets stored in a reusable format? 4)Does my content have metadata? 5)Do I know my content’s rights? 6)Do I have the necessary system features? 7)Are my systems integrated?
- 8. 1) IDENTIFY BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES Try to anticipate all channels (products, services), platforms, and territories your content will be used. Services - Aggregation - Licensing - Branded Content - Events Products - Books - Magazines - Newspaper - Websites - Apps - Newsletters - Ecommerce - Video - Podcasts Platforms - iTunes - Amazon - Facebook - Instagram - Snapchat - Medium - Texture - VitalSource Territories - North America - Latin America - EMEA - APAC
- 9. 2) IDENTIFY AND MANAGE CONTENT Identify all your existing content repositories. If they are not efficiently managed - organize them properly.
- 10. 3) CREATE REUSABLE FORMATS Make sure your content is created and stored in formats that can be reused. Use industry standards wherever possible to hedge risk. Website/App Books Magazines News
- 11. 4) DEFINE A METADATA STRATEGY Build rich administrative, descriptive and technical metadata structures to facilitate discovery. ANALYZE DATA MODEL DATA CONFIGURATION Examine the existing digital asset data. This includes key data objects such as: - Administrative - Descriptive - Technical - Relationship Develop a schema, vocabulary and relationships based on existing and future business needs. Industry metadata standards guide us this development, such as: - Dublin Core - Schema.org - XMP/IPTC - EXIF - DBpedia - Wikidata Configure the designed schema and vocabularies in the DAM or CMS system. Create a mapping from the existing schema and vocabulary to the future schema and vocabulary. This includes any transformations that need to occur. MAPPING MIGRATION Create and run migration scripts from legacy to new system. These scripts should be based off the schema and vocabulary mapping. DESIGN IMPLEMENTATIONPLANNING
