Most Digital Asset Management systems are good (or good enough).

  • They store assets.

Fundamentals of Metadata and Taxonomy for DAM Professionals

Wednesday September 30, 10.15am-1.15pm

This tutorial teaches the fundamentals of metadata and taxonomy, including standards, best practices, and governance needed to manage your content in your DAM. Metadata matters because not only does it define us at any given point in time, but it also gives structure and meaning to the data associated with all that we do in our business.

Events DAM and Collections Management for Cultural Heritage 2026 After the Catalogue

We're closing this year's DAM and Collections Management for Cultural Heritage conference the way the best collections are built: by looking at everything we've gathered and asking what it actually means.

For the final 30 minutes, the panel of experts will step back from the day and reflect on the ideas that landed, the tensions that didn't resolve, and the questions that kept resurfacing whether we were talking about metadata standards, digital preservation, or the weight of stewarding centuries of culture on a constrained budget.

Then the floor opens.

Events DAM and Collections Management for Cultural Heritage 2026 What Digital Preservation Should Mean for GLAMP

A descriptive term in search of a clear meaning: 
"Digital preservation" is a term that gets thrown around constantly in cultural heritage circles – but what does it mean, in practice, for galleries, libraries, archives, museums, and performing arts organisations operating within real-world constraints?

  • Backup? 
  • Storage?
  • Digitisation? 

Clarity is required if under-resourced GLAMP organisations are to make the move from theory to practical implementation.
