CataLogger: a framework for building asset management solutions

A robust asset management solution is a critical component of any system that seeks to provide automated access to content or services. A core issue in the design of such systems is the capability to model complex assets and their dependencies in an environment where such assets are continually being defined accessed, modified, tracked, and reused. The purpose of the paper is to present CataLogger, a general asset management framework that can model the life cycle of complex assets.
