    1. Disney’s Mission: Metadata a 7 year case study ŠDisney, AMIA Digital Asset Symposium May 11, 2007

    2. Disney AMIA Digital Asset Symposium, May 11, 2007 Disney 1.0: In the beginning, there was the business need: MAM Mission 2000: interoperability 2002: nomenclature and standards Disney 2.0: 2003 and 2004, integrate vocabularies, build taxonomy 2005: coordinating systems Mission Update Disney 3.0: 2006 metadata information to semantics 2007: ontology and relationships

    3. Disney AMIA Digital Asset Symposium, May 11, 2007 Mission 2000 Media Asset Management Find, track and exchange media assets between global business units and business partners, in a rapidly evolving new media marketplace.

    4. Disney AMIA Digital Asset Symposium, May 11, 2007 Metcalfe’s Law The current situation at TWDC, and its future state. Pros: MAM applications closely aligned with BU requirements Investment is spread over multiple BU, at their behest Cons: Multiple, costly integrations per system Difficult to search and share assets Rigid, inflexible architecture that is slow to adapt to new opportunities Many points of potential failure Upgrading or changing any single system immediately affects all interconnected systems Enterprise costs, and duplication of investment, is largely hidden Custom integrations with vendor systems limit vendor flexibility List of all of the systems that are currently shopping for MAM systems. There are at least 40 significant BU systems that we are aware of. The current situation at TWDC, and its future state.

There are at least 40 significant BU systems that we are aware of.

    5. Disney AMIA Digital Asset Symposium, May 11, 2007 Centralize Systems, Applications, Content A single MAM application is a potential solution to the current situation. One that other studios have tried (WB) with varying levels of success. Cons: Doesn’t fit all BU requirements – more of a lowest common denominator subset of functionality. Requires the migration of all existing BU users and assets into the system. BU get user interface “skin” flexibility, but little opportunity to tailor functionality to their needs. BUs must wait for BU specific enhancements. No vendor, or existing application, has a solution for the breadth and depth of TWDC. Marries TWDC to a single vendor/integrator. Controlled by a committee. Pros: Enables searching across collections. Enables sharing of assets across collections. A single MAM application is a potential solution to the current situation.

    18. Disney AMIA Digital Asset Symposium, May 11, 2007 ! “We have now entered a third stage, where serving information effectively to a known constituency is not sufficient.” ...In today’s digital environment, the context of content is a vast international network of digital materials and services. Objects, metadata and colelctions should be viewed not only within the ocntext of the projects that created them but as building blocks that others can reuse, repackage, and build services upon....In today’s digital environment, the context of content is a vast international network of digital materials and services.
