Abstract
Metadata are essential for a digital asset to have a viable shelf-life and future commercial value. They will also be key to the successful delivery of expected business efficiencies from the installation of a digital asset management system. This paper discusses the main operational metadata issues that need to be taken into account when either setting up a digital asset management system or analyzing an existing archive for potential commercialization.
