>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #1211132. --> Reported by: [joebachana](https://www.drupal.org/user/113430) >>> <p>Note: <strong>furamag</strong> is applying as main developer for the git vetted user role here.</p> <p>The EMBridge module (located <a href="http://drupal.org/sandbox/jbachana/1209614">here</a>), created and maintained by staff at <a href="http://www.databasepublish.com">DPCI</a>, extends the image management functionalities of Drupal by connecting it to <a href="http://entermediasoftware.com/download.html">EnterMedia</a>, an open-source digital asset management system distributed under the GNU General Public License, used to search, manage, reuse, and track all digital files.</p> <p>The EMBridge Module integrates Drupal Web content management with Entermedia digital asset management, allowing you to:</p> <ul> <li>Use the Drupal interface to upload single or multiple assets, such as images, video , audio and interactive object files <em>into</em> Entermedia and apply metadata to a single or batch of assets </li> <li>Use the Drupal interface to search for and select digital assets <em>from</em> Entermedia to use on your Website</li> <li>Select assets within Drupal by viewing thumbnails and metadata in the search results returned from Entermedia</li> <li>Replace ImageCache with the superior image conversion and renditioning capabilities and performance of Entermedia&rsquo;s technology</li> <li>Ability to store multiple related assets that can be used for Print, Web, and mobile publishing output</li> <li>Take advantage of physical metadata properties and extended asset metadata, such as EXIF, XMP or IPTC, captured by Entermedia on asset upload</li> <li>Store digital files in a digital asset management repository rather than in the CMS and reference instances of those assets from Drupal</li> </ul> <p>There are two components to the EMBridge Module:</p> <ul> <li>Entermedia main module &ndash; enables Drupal to connect with your Entermedia system for upload and search of digital assets</li> <li>Entermedia asset &ndash; adds the Entermedia Asset field type to <a href="http://drupal.org/project/cck">CCK</a> so that this field can be added to any content type for associating digital assets with your content</li> </ul> <p>The EMBridge module is not only an incredibly powerful way to extend Drupal&rsquo;s capabilities for searching and publishing rich media on your website, it also gives you a way to tap into the power of Entermedia&rsquo;s digital asset management system for uploading and managing assets and metadata. This rich functionality can all be accessed directly from within Drupal&rsquo;s content creation interface without having to jump out to your desktop or another application interface.</p> <h3>Reviews of other projects</h3> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/node/1247778#comment-5640012">http://drupal.org/node/1247778#comment-5640012</a><br> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/1392060#comment-5639806">http://drupal.org/node/1392060#comment-5639806</a><br> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/1447120#comment-5639860">http://drupal.org/node/1447120#comment-5639860</a></p>
