Hello!,
We're just about to sign on with Luna and are planning a programming tie-in
to import object description metadata from TMS (mapped to CDWA-Lite). I'm
hopeful that we'll also be able to automate dropping in the thumbnail and a
link back to Luna for the fullsize image and technical/administrative
metadata as well, making it a 2-way process.

A couple of institutions have recently implemented Media Bin (Interwoven)
and are also doing the TMS tie-in: Minneapolis Institute of Arts, SFMoMA,
Metropolitan Museum. Dallas Museum of Art uses Stellant and is thinking
about a TMS link. We did a session at last year's MCN conference -- our
PowerPoint slides are available on the MCN website:

Subject: Seeking DAM (or like) projects
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2007 14:53:52 -0500

Hello Everyone,

The Yale University Art Gallery (http://artgallery.yale.edu
<http://artgallery.yale.edu/> ) is in the exploratory stage of a project to
implement a DAM (or DAM-like) system which ideally share data between the
system and TMS, while helping to manage workflow and business processes
throughout the Gallery.

We would be interested to know what institutions out there are using TMS and
some software program to manage their digital assets (which does not
necessarily mean a literal DAM or that what you are using is "talking" to
TMS). As we learn about various pairings, we would like to contact some of
you to learn what works and does not work in your particular situation and
perhaps make a site visit.

Please supply us with the product(s) you are using and who would be the best
person for us to talk to about all of this.

If you prefer to contact us off-list, you will find our contact information
below.

Thank you all!
