Abstract

Methods and systems for digital asset management are described. Some embodiments provide methods and systems for: (1) a high-performance database system for storing assets and the associated metadata, (2) computing an inverse delta between two files without generating any intermediate files or deltas, (3) uniquely identifying a digital asset and storing the digital asset's namespace change history in a version control system, (4) inferring dependencies amongst namespace changes, (5) a workflow management tool that is tightly integrated with a version control system, (6) publishing milestones in a project which can consistently maintain the namespace uniqueness invariant, and/or (7) implicitly versioning data and/or files that are associated with certain types of digital assets in a version control system.
