Fundamentals of Metadata and Taxonomy for DAM Professionals

Monday, October 13, 10:15 AM – 1:15 PM

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.
