Below are highlights to using a 'walled garden'.
- Determine the amount of space you need to protect and store your assets. Contracts start at 1 terabyte and scale to accommodate your growing collections.
- Assets may include photos, videos, 3-dimensional renderings, maps, artwork, even portable document formats (PDFs). Create your walled garden collection based on your unit needs.
- You decide what assets can be shared beyond your unit's use.
- Walled Gardens require a unit to assign a primary asset owner. This person manages the collection and assigns access rights to the rest of their unit. The Asset Owners community help build and improve DAM collections for all of Ohio State.
- Asset Owners work to train their asset contributors. These are usually photographers, videographers or designers who understand how to upload and tag assets for the good of the searching community. You may have unlimited contributors to your walled garden. must complete Contributor training and utilize Ohio State tagging taxonomy and guidelines.
- Your unit's walled garden may be made available to your entire unit for searching and accessing assets. This helps your unit become a self-serve community, using search to find assets of donors, deans, faculty and students for marketing, donor relations, or management materials. Training is available for all.
- Search within the DAM helps you find assets from all the collections that you have access. This includes Ohio State signature gallery assets, shared assets collections and/or your unit’s walled garden.
