This page describes similarities and key differences between DAMS1 and DAMS2

Reminder: DAMS Policy

https://cloud.wikis.utexas.edu/wiki/x/WsRPAg

  • The DAMS is part of a larger digital stewardship ecosystem: The DAMS can be used to streamline access to curated content, predominantly for public access through the Collections Portal, the HRDI and Primeros Libros Portals, or Spotlight.

    • The DAMS is only a secondary storage location for asset files that UTL curates. All content that is added to the DAMS must be preserved in UTL’s digital archival infrastructure (exception: Primeros Libros content provided by partner institutions).

    • Reformatted content that is not digitized by UTL’s Digitization unit must conform to the UTL Digitization specifications.

    • For digitized/reformatted content, the ‘main’ asset Media entity typically contains the Production Master. Avoid storing Archival Master files in the DAMS, unless you anticipate frequent access requests.

    • Born-digital content must adhere to UTL standards for acquisition and stewardship of born-digital collections. Consult with the Digital Processing Archivist or other Digital Stewardship staff BEFORE you agree to acquire born-digital content.

    • Archival processing of born-digital files, in particular redacting of content and file format normalization must be completed before the content is ingested into the DAMS. Unredacted/unnormalized files MUST NOT be stored in the DAMS.

  • The DAMS is the last step before publishing and not a parking lot: Ideally, content added to the DAMS will have sufficient metadata to allow for management and timely publishing of content.

    • All content must be inventoried outside of the DAMS prior to ingest.

    • Archival content: Content that by nature of its formal characteristics and organization is best described in an archival finding aid should have a sufficiently detailed finding aid, if necessary accompanied by an inventory that provide item/object-specific metadata.

    • Library materials: Content that by nature of its formal characteristics is best described in a catalog record must have a catalog record. All materials that can be cataloged in the OCLC database must have an OCLC number.
