Adlib makes many things possibleCentralization of collections management: data governance and institution-wide policies• Authorities for Names, Titles, Vocabularies, Acquisitions,
CollectionsFlexible: accommodates data migrated from dozens of legacy sourcesTools for data cleanup: batch modifications, link overviewConfiguration• Relatively easy to make modifications and additions with
Designer• Release 4 major configuration releases to Adlib for Windows
and Adlib Internet Services every year + many small patch

Open APIAxiell: Notification of changes would be nice!Integrated with DAMS/MAMS
• Two-way exchange of information• Adlib = descriptive metadata, DAMS = technical
metadataAdlib Internet Services (2 implementations)Axiell MoveWorkflow reportsVideo Logger

Challenge: User roles and permissions~125 users in Film Archive, Library, Museum, Oral History
Permissions vary within databases
Roles must be written into records
Changes require data updates — time consuming!
Complicates testing new releases
![Page 10: The Academy’s Big Adventure - Axiell User Conference€¦ · The Academy’s Big Adventure. Karen Barcellona, Director. kbarcellona@oscars.org. Sadie Menchen, Manager. smenchen@oscars.org.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052518/5f0701e97e708231d41ad570/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Challenge: Searching and reportingHierarchies are great for visual display of relationships, BUT…they are not functional
• Data can be merged in, BUT…merged data cannot be indexed,is limited to first occurrence only
• Data can be inherited, BUT…will not automatically update if the record is
moved to a different parent or if higher level information is modified
![Page 11: The Academy’s Big Adventure - Axiell User Conference€¦ · The Academy’s Big Adventure. Karen Barcellona, Director. kbarcellona@oscars.org. Sadie Menchen, Manager. smenchen@oscars.org.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052518/5f0701e97e708231d41ad570/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Challenge: Searching and reporting
Admins can build reports with specialized tools (XSLT, Adapls)• End users cannot modify• Third party reporting tools not compatible (e.g.,
Crystal Reports)
Word templates are best option for end users• Lack ability to use conditional phrasing (if/then…) • Reporting across datasets and databases isn’t viable
• Technically possible at top level of Collect BUT…• Display issue of presenting all fields is a blocker

Challenge: Poly-hierarchiesSame term can have two parents, BUT…
• Relationships cannot be defined contextually based on attributes of higher levels
![Page 13: The Academy’s Big Adventure - Axiell User Conference€¦ · The Academy’s Big Adventure. Karen Barcellona, Director. kbarcellona@oscars.org. Sadie Menchen, Manager. smenchen@oscars.org.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052518/5f0701e97e708231d41ad570/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Challenge: Poly-hierarchiesSame term can have two parents, BUT…
• Relationships cannot be defined contextually based on attributes of higher levels
• Result is many redundant terms that are not represented as related in any way

Challenge: Configuration
Links out to multiple datasets require separate fields in in order to keep records grouped by datasets

Merging data back from linked records ALSO requires separate fields

Is Axiell Collections the answer?Waiting for resolution of performance issues related to records with many links
Increased auditing capabilities
Hierarchical data held in indexed tables to enable broader searching/reporting
Options for personalized display
Improved performance for offsite usage
