1. A digital asset management system comprising:

  • a communication interface;

    a digital asset management database comprising a data model with three related hierarchies that together organize all media asset data and media asset metadata of a specified media asset that includes one or more media asset types and one or more delivery destinations, prior to controlling delivery of the specified media asset, wherein the three hierarchies of the data model include;

    an asset description hierarchy comprising asset description objects for a media asset, wherein the asset description objects are populated with attributes that include at least media asset data and media asset metadata;

    a compound media asset type description hierarchy comprising compound media asset type description objects that define different types of media assets associated with the media asset and comprise metadata attributes that associate media types to the media asset;

    a compound media asset type file hierarchy for the media asset comprising compound media asset type file objects that correspond to the objects in the compound media asset description hierarchy, said compound media asset type file objects include;

    media asset data attributes and media asset metadata attributes that associate a media asset data file to one of the compound media types; and

    media asset files comprising physical data representations of renderings associated with the compound media types;

    a memory comprising;

    an ingestion program for creating the three hierarchies of the data model for a specified media asset, which is operable to;

    obtain source media asset data and source media asset metadata through the communication interface and ingest the source media asset data and the source media asset metadata by;

    normalizing the source media asset data and the source media asset metadata with respect to a defined object format by populating;



    the asset description objects;



    at least one of the compound media asset type description objects; and



    at least one of the compound media asset type file objects; and

    enriching the media asset data and the media asset metadata of the specified media asset with additional media asset data and additional media asset metadata from subsequent obtaining and ingesting of additional source media asset data and source media asset metadata; and

    a processor coupled to the communication interface, database and the memory, and operable to execute the ingestion program.
