Managing and sharing digital assets ranging from still and moving image to text to geospatial data involves a coordination of internal processes and purpose-built tools. The three presenters in this session will discuss the program within the NPS to promote institution-wide standardized image management. They will also present and demonstrate NPS Focus, the repository built to manage NPS’s digital assets with support for the use of embedded metadata, metadata harvesting, and more.
