Can Digikam cater for a multi-user environment?

[Hanh Tran]

Hi all,

 

I am Hanh Tran, executive producer for Radio Australia (the international broadcasting arm of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation). I’ve been given the task of finding a system to help RA manage its multimedia content.

 

What we need is a multi-user database based on metadata. The creation and search functions should be in integrated into the system.

 

Briefly, our operating environment and needs are as follows:

 

·         50 content makers (end users)

·         10 multimedia producers (administrators who can edit and upload content)

·         Windows XP and Mac

·         Product mix: photos, video clips (10,000 items/yr)

·         staff and public access

·         Server-based storage with automatic backup

·         Searchable database of permanent metadata tags

·         Part of library published on Flickr and social networks with RA watermark

Do you think Digikam can cater for our needs?

 

Regards,

 

 

Hanh Tran
Executive Producer, Radio Australia

Hi Hanh,

Multi-users support come be done using Mysql database backend. As you plan yo use a dedicated Database server, it fine.
