To try and keep the confusion to a minimum we will start with a Taxonomy to define some key terms, then jump into some Operational Scenarios. The scenario for all the Ops Scenario's will be built around the idea of cataloging and archiving MEDIA (audio, video, images) since most everyone can relate to these items. Some of the simple examples will focus on a single media format, while the more complex examples will show how to deal with an ever changing media library.

Taxonomy

File Manager Policy - All the *.xml files that the filemanager will use to define metadata

...

• One set of File Manager Policy
• All of the Data Sets are homogenous

Example: You want to catalog and archive music files. They are logically grouped together by some album, but every song you archive has the same metadata elements. In this case we have a single Data Set called Music, which will be mapped to a single Product Type.
