Abstract

Data definitions for digital assets, such as, for example, audio, video, photographs, graphics, and electronic documents, are provided that allow these different asset types to be stored in a single database. The definitions are preferably in XML and can be used as a standardized dictionary to more efficiently and economically manage digital-assets, thus improving system interoperability between companies or organizations within a company. A digital asset ordering interface, hardware system, software arrangement, and application interface configuration advantageously using these data definitions are also provided.
