Nevertheless, any file management system that doesn\u2019t make it easy for you to find what you\u2019re looking for can be endlessly frustrating,&nbsp;<em>and<\/em>&nbsp;a huge waste of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially as your digital library grows, easy file retrieval and content consistency across your site(s) depend on how thoroughly you\u2019re able to organize it all. But organizing all of your videos, images, and beyond in a way that makes everyone\u2019s lives easier\u2026presents a new kind of insurmountable challenge:&nbsp;<em>Who has time for that?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s where a Digital Asset Management platform with smart tagging capabilities comes into play!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-a-digital-asset-management-platform-\">What is a Digital Asset Management platform?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To put things simply, a <a href=\"https:\/\/axamit.com\/blog\/adobe\/dam-vs-cms\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7532\">Digital Asset Management platform or Digital Asset Manager (DAM)<\/a> is a solution designed to help keep the company\u2019s various files organized and easily accessible by your teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These files might be anything you use to provide a unified user experience across your site, including images, videos, animations, and documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-implement-dam-\">Why implement DAM?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DAMs are used far and wide by brands with large digital portfolios, and they\u2019re essential for ensuring consistency across content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brands with particularly demanding file libraries need a single source of truth that all their teams can refer back to when creating new content, pages, or sites. And a properly organized DAM integrated into a brand\u2019s CMS fulfills this need!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tagging-assets-within-dam\">Tagging assets within DAM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For your team to find images, videos, and more in your DAM platform, you\u2019ll need to include tags in the metadata for each asset. These tags are keywords that help describe the file, and they enable it to appear when teams search for those keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, let\u2019s say your company owns an image of a woman eating spaghetti. Relevant tags for an image like this might be along the lines of:&nbsp;<em>woman, eating, spaghetti, food<\/em>. It might show up when your team searches \u201cwoman eating,\u201d or simply \u201cspaghetti.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inevitably, you can\u2019t manage content (optimally) without these tags\u2014but what if you have millions of files that need to be tagged?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, that\u2019s where a DAM with smart tagging capabilities comes in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aem-assets-an-advanced-dam-solution\">AEM Assets: An Advanced DAM Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many DAM solutions out there that achieve similar ends\u2014that is, they create a centralized hub to store all of your digital property and organize it as you see fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/axamit.com\/adobe-experience-cloud\/adobe-experience-manager\/assets\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"7459\">Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets<\/a>, however, is an advanced DAM that rises a step above the status-quo, for businesses with more complex file management needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/business.adobe.com\/products\/experience-manager\/assets\/aem-assets.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AEM Assets<\/a>&nbsp;opens doors to even more tools and capabilities. Here are just a few of its many perks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Easy new content version creation using Photoshop, Lightroom, or even AI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In-depth analytics on each asset\u2019s performance with your customers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ability to define which teams can use which files and to what extent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most useful tools (by far) that AEM Assets brings to the table is the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/axamit.com\/blog\/adobe\/what-is-adobe-sensei\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2491\">Adobe Sensei\u2019s AI<\/a> to apply auto-tags to new and existing files within your DAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This enables you to make millions of images, videos, and text-based assets searchable for all your teams with relevant tags in no time. And that\u2019s certainly much better than spending countless hours assessing these digital properties and applying tags one at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, while this is an incredibly powerful feature, it\u2019s not ready to go out of the box. Let\u2019s do a deep dive into what you can expect from the setup process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-aem-smart-content-service-works\">How AEM Smart Content Service Works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AEM Smart Content Service is a feature within AEM Assets, which uses Adobe Sensei AI to learn and reproduce how you want to tag your digital properties. It relies on image recognition intelligence to evaluate your assets and decide how best to tag them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s an overview of the process, to give you a better idea of what you\u2019ll be working with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You\u2019ll upload your images, videos, or text-based files into Adobe Assets, where Smart Content Service\u2019s AI will instantly auto-tag them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3352042e6fc&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3352042e6fc\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"413\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/d11cw4yu2zh4tp.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08195438\/Smart-tags-in-image-properties-in-AEM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d11cw4yu2zh4tp.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08195438\/Smart-tags-in-image-properties-in-AEM.webp 850w, https:\/\/d11cw4yu2zh4tp.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08195438\/Smart-tags-in-image-properties-in-AEM-300x146.webp 300w, https:\/\/d11cw4yu2zh4tp.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08195438\/Smart-tags-in-image-properties-in-AEM-768x373.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Smart tags in image properties in AEM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>Now, when you enter the asset console of the DAM platform, you\u2019ll be able to type a keyword that describes the type of file you need.

even features considered to be \u201csmart\u201d still need some education. Although Smart Content Service has access to a powerful image recognition AI, it won\u2019t know how you need your digital properties to be tagged if you don\u2019t teach it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"your-business-taxonomy\">Your business taxonomy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every business has a fairly unique taxonomy\u2014meaning that every business uses specific language, descriptors, and classifications to describe the content that appears in their files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, an untrained Smart Content Service may only be able to recognize a BMW motorcycle as a motorcycle. Needless to say, when all you sell are motorcycles\u2026that\u2019s not a helpful tag for your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a business standpoint, BMW would know that when their teams are accessing files to design content, they would likely be searching for images of specific models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, your business taxonomy would be the model names you use to describe different motorcycles. And Smart Content Service wouldn\u2019t know this on its own without learning your specific business taxonomy first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ai-generating-aem-smart-tags-around-your-business-taxonomy\">AI generating AEM smart tags around your business taxonomy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/experienceleague.adobe.com\/docs\/experience-manager-65\/assets\/administer\/config-smart-tagging.html?lang=en#training-the-smart-content-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Training the AI<\/a>&nbsp;to recognize your business taxonomy can be fairly straightforward in theory\u2014you\u2019ll be presenting the AI with a folder of images that all use the same tags, with some variety between visually similar images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is done so that the AI can learn to identify why the same tag applies to varying images. When Smart Content Service evaluates other assets after training, this knowledge will help it note those same identifiers, and apply those same AEM tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a33520430197&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a33520430197\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"497\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/d11cw4yu2zh4tp.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08195519\/AI-training-for-Smart-Tagging-in-AEM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d11cw4yu2zh4tp.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08195519\/AI-training-for-Smart-Tagging-in-AEM.webp 850w, https:\/\/d11cw4yu2zh4tp.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08195519\/AI-training-for-Smart-Tagging-in-AEM-300x175.webp 300w, https:\/\/d11cw4yu2zh4tp.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08195519\/AI-training-for-Smart-Tagging-in-AEM-768x449.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AI training for Smart Tagging in AEM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To effectively run a training process with your images, you\u2019ll need a few things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At least 30 images for each tag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The visual similarity between images that share the same tag.

(For instance, the same model in the same pose wearing the same kind of shirt, but in many different colors.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Images with little to no distracting elements, like complex backgrounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Images tagged completely with every tag that\u2019s relevant to them in your taxonomy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Training processes can be run as many times as you require to give your Smart Content Service a more complex understanding of your needs for AEM smart tags as they evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, once you\u2019ve run a training process, the AI can\u2019t unlearn what it learned in that specific process. So, make sure that before you run a training process, the tags and images you\u2019re providing accurately represent how you want similar assets to be smart-tagged in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"assets-and-aem-tag-confidence-scores\">Assets and AEM tag confidence scores<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even well-trained AIs aren\u2019t perfect. So, when evaluating images, videos, or text-based files for smart tagging in AEM, the AI framework will also assign a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/experienceleague.adobe.com\/docs\/experience-manager-cloud-service\/content\/assets\/manage\/smart-tags-video-assets.html?lang=en#confidence-score-video-tag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confidence score<\/a>&nbsp;to each tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This confidence score expresses how sure the AI is that this tag is highly accurate for this asset, and it\u2019s expressed as a number between zero and one. You can also look at the confidence score as a percentage\u2014for example, a confidence score of 0.5 would mean that Adobe Sensei is 50% sure that this tag is relevant for the asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tags with higher confidence scores will prompt the tagged file to appear more prominently in search results when looking for keywords mentioned in that AEM tag. Similarly, your files are less likely to show in search results for tags with lower confidence scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a33520430db2&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a33520430db2\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"552\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/d11cw4yu2zh4tp.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08195529\/Tag-Confidence-Score-vs-search-appearance-in-AEM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d11cw4yu2zh4tp.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08195529\/Tag-Confidence-Score-vs-search-appearance-in-AEM.webp 850w, https:\/\/d11cw4yu2zh4tp.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08195529\/Tag-Confidence-Score-vs-search-appearance-in-AEM-300x195.webp 300w, https:\/\/d11cw4yu2zh4tp.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08195529\/Tag-Confidence-Score-vs-search-appearance-in-AEM-768x499.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tag Confidence Score vs search appearance in AEM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AEM users can also evaluate the confidence scores that the AI is assigning to tags, to confirm whether or not the tag is accurate for a given file.

These limitations shouldn\u2019t keep you from investing in AEM Assets and Smart Content Service\u2014but it\u2019s important to be aware of them as you navigate an optimal auto-tag setup.

With manual AEM tagging, a human is tasked with assessing files and applying relevant tags to them one at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-the-difference-between-metadata-and-tags-in-aem-\">What is the difference between metadata and tags in AEM?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In AEM, an asset\u2019s metadata is a set of data that explains details about it (for example, its file type). A tag is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/martech.org\/tags-vs-metadata-in-dam-whats-the-difference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">saved as a kind of metadata<\/a>&nbsp;for files in AEM. Tag functionality is specifically geared toward benefiting users, by making files searchable via the keywords used in the tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-smart-tagging-be-applied-to-existing-content-in-aem-or-is-it-only-for-new-content-\">Can smart tagging be applied to existing content in AEM, or is it only for new content?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, smart tagging can be applied to existing folders of content in AEM as well as new content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a Digital Asset Management platform?
