    Brief

    The Science Museum Group, comprising six UK museum institutions (Science Museum London, Science & Industry Museum Manchester, National Science & Media Museum Bradford, National Railway Museum York, Locomotion Shildon, and Science and Innovation Park Wroughton), seeks an internal asset management system to help staff search, manage, and access audiovisual materials created or commissioned by the organization. The system must handle three main content categories: (1) Video Production materials including finished deliverables, edit projects, and camera rushes requiring long-term storage and low bitrate access copies; (2) Oral Histories comprising interviews with time-based metadata and versioning capabilities for redacted content; and (3) Complex Digital Objects including multi-file multimedia packages and disc images used throughout the museums. The system will also support general document storage and design files. Required capabilities include: extraction and management of audiovisual materials with multiple codecs and technical metadata; hierarchical collection structures with time-based logging and asset relationships; third-party tool integration and metadata export to defined standards; secure temporary sharing with limited permissions; storage management using 3:2:1:1:0 methodology with scheduled fixity checking; and support for multiple storage technologies including cloud and LTO tape infrastructure.
