Asset Bank and New Content

The content management system - Asset Bank which we will be using for OVAM is now fully up and running. After lots of work to tweak it for the project to make it the most effective it can be our e-Curators have been busy starting to upload content from their schools. The Asset Bank allows extensive categorisation and meta-tagging of material making it easily searchable. As well as features such as the categorisation and tagging facilities it is also capable of hosting a very wide variety of file formats, allowing us to store the majority of content in one place, minimising any confusion that multiple storage sites would have for users.

Over the next few weeks we will start to be able to offer some examples of the fantastic content which will be included in the museum.
