DAM

1.2.3. Outlook

The future of the DAM, given the rather complete list of features already or close to publication, might rather lie with the aspirations of it's parts than with the ongoing development of the whole. The core DAM will be still refined and grow through extensions built on it's API, but the most thrilling prospects are offered by applying innovations and principles introduced to TYPO3 by the DAM to other field of application. Examples might be a coherent global meta data management no longer limited to assets but stretching to generic content generated in the CMS and layered from meta data used in authoring workflows to formats catering to public display and information retrieval by external systems, such as semantic browsers.
