Digital Asset Management consists of the tasks and decisions surrounding investing, annotating, cataloguing, storage and retrieval, of
digital assets, such as didital photographs, animations, videos, and music. Digital asset management systems are computer software systems that aid in the
process of digital asset management.
The term "digital asset management" (DAM) refers to the protocol for downloading, renaming, backing up, rating, grouping, archiving, optimizing, maintaining,
thinning, and exporting files. "There are two primary types of DAM software: browsers and cataloging software. A browser reads information from a file but does
not store it seperately. Cataloging software stores information in its own separate file, however, the sofwtare and catalog document it makse are distinct from the
photos themselves.
