Technology and consulting services provider Tessella, UK, has announced that it has been selected by the Wellcome Trust to deliver a Digital Asset Management (DAM) using the former's Safety Deposit Box (SDB), to provide an essential component system of the developing Wellcome Digital Library.
The Trust's current DAM system is version 3 of Tessella's SDB. It will upgrade this to SDB version 4 (SDB4), which is expected to preserve the Trust's digital material for the long term.
Additionally SDB4 will be extended by Tessella to enable ingest and storage of all the Trust's digital material (both born-digital and digitised) and to disseminate it on request from the Trust's delivery system (DDS). The required software extensions were specified during a comprehensive User Requirements phase where Tessella worked in close cooperation with Library staff to identify their needs, for the DAM and that helped clarify the requirements for other component systems that will be needed by the Wellcome Digital Library.
In addition, as part of this upgrade, Tessella will deploy the latest version of the Technical Registry. This will be deployed with a newly populated database.
