  • Identifier: An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context. An alphanumerical string is used to identify and reference the asset. Editors can move assets without breaking links in the DAM.

  • Modification Date: Date of last modification.
  • Creator: An entity responsible for creating the resource (uploading the asset).
