Abstract
Enhancing exhibits to increase collections access through online or virtual environments challenges museums and other cultural heritage institutions to expand upon existing digital asset management (DAM) workflows. Museum DAM managers are similarly challenged to implement DAM technical needs for new exhibit file structures. This paper addresses how DAM practitioners can utilise innovation and best practices to realise a return on investment through a flexible or contorted DAM system.
