Managing Digital Assets with HEAL Local
Sebastian Uijtdehaage (UCLA) is presenting this morning at Slice of Life about the state of HEAL (Health Education Assets Library).
HEAL was conceived 5 years ago (it sounds like it was at this conference). It's first incarnation is a centrally controlled, national digital library. HEAL Local is a new project that is focused on privately controlled data.
Managing digital media is tough, there isn't meta-data built into the images. Faculty need:
- tools for managing
- control over collections
- optional sharing
- searchable repository
Commercial solutions are expensive and don't fully meet the needs for digital asset management.
HEAL Local Provides
- faculty build and manage collections
- can remain private or within institution
- searching for shared resources
- can create Albums
- can create cataloging schemes
Heal Central and Heal Local work together, bring items down from the central server and push items up.
Technology
HEAL Local is written in Java and JSP and uses MySQL as a backend. Can use LDAP for authentication and includes HEAL metadata schema.Timeline
- July 2005 - in pilot at UCLA and UCSF
- Sept 2005 - Beta release
- Jan 2006 - released as a turnkey solution to members of the HEAL collaborative with documentation
