The Digital Media Initiative (DMI) document outlines a system for digitally capturing, organizing, editing, and sharing media assets. It depicts the workflow from ingesting content captured on tapeless cards, to logging, editing, reviewing, and sharing assets within a local library and over the network. Finally, it shows how completed assets are submitted to the archive and made available for search and retrieval worldwide.
