Asset Tagging refers to the process of assigning identifiers, such as tags or labels, to digital assets to simplify their management and retrieval. In digital asset management, tags are typically keywords or metadata that describe the content, context, and characteristics of the assets, such as file type, creator, usage rights, and subject.
These tags enable more efficient searching, sorting, and organisation of assets within a database or management system. Asset tagging is crucial for maintaining a well-organised digital asset library, facilitating quick access to specific assets and ensuring that they are used appropriately within their usage rights and contextual relevance.
Asset tagging also supports automated workflows by enabling systems to quickly identify and process assets based on their assigned tags.
