Digital Asset Management

Know which source is current—and who may use it.

Assets keeps the owner, rights, current version, lineage, and downstream context attached to each image, video, audio, or document record.

A source record should answer four questions without a side channel.

Which file is current? Who owns it? What use is permitted? What downstream work becomes invalid when the source is replaced?

Current source

Separate the selected master from a plausible duplicate.

Search the filename, owner, rights scope, collection, format, and tags before selecting a record.

Ownership

Name who can answer for the record.

Mara Quill owns AST-0101; external reviewers may inspect the rendition but not download the source.

Lineage

Replace the source without erasing the prior decision.

Version 03 becomes Current while Version 02 and its affected outputs remain visible as Superseded.

Exceptions

Stop missing metadata and restricted rights at the library boundary.

A record can remain findable while an absent rights owner or restricted source blocks downstream use.

Source versus preview

The production master and the browser preview have different jobs.

A TIFF, MOV, WAV, PSD, or INDD record may name the production source. The public interface serves only lightweight local previews and never pretends those derivatives are the master.
