A photographer’s website, powered by DC-X

Tim Strehle March 14, 2012 Blog

My brother, an ambitious hobby photographer, asked me to set up a website for him showcasing his photography. He had already bought XML Photography Template, a Flash app configured through (usually static) XML files. (No, I’m not a friend of Flash-only websites, I hope we can fix this later…) Photos are best handled by our […]

DC-X: Managing image rights

Tim Strehle March 1, 2010 Blog

Usage rights for images – and other types of assets like video – are a tricky, but important part of Digital Asset Management. Am I allowed to use this image for my publication, under which conditions, and will I have to pay for it? Are there any restrictions? A DAM system must help answer these […]

Atom (RFC 4287) entry or feed as the standard DC-X input format

Tim Strehle September 11, 2009 Blog

A typical DC-X system receives data from lots of different sources: News agencies, editorial systems, files in hotfolders, e-mails, RSS feeds.

DC-X: Publication data

Tim Strehle March 13, 2009 Blog

An unlimited number of publications can be set up in DC-X, along with metadata related to the publication itself (name, short name, platform, aggregation type, publisher, ISSN, eISSN, hierarchical list of sections/subsections or web channels). A document can be assigned any number of publication data records so that you can track how often it has […]

DC-X: Documents and Files

Tim Strehle February 25, 2009 Blog

The “assets” (as in “Digital Asset Management”), the main entities of any DAM system, are called “documents” in DC-X: Database records containing text content along with structured metadata, and with zero or more attached files (stored in the filesystem, not in the database). All content is stored in Unicode, encoded as UTF-8, meaning that almost […]
