I’ve been working and experimenting on the Define module of myActivo. The questions that I’m trying to answer for the design of this module are: what would be the best way to represent the structure of asset information? how should this information be presented to the user? how should this information be stored in the… Continue reading Representing Hierarchies
Technologies and Frameworks
When talking about his work, Steve Jobs often cited the quote “good artists copy, great artists steal” which he attributed to Pablo Picasso. This rings particularly true for an open-source project like myActivo. I could not have put this piece of software together if I was not relying on other great projects. Remember the ladder… Continue reading Technologies and Frameworks

Requirements and Features
In my previous post I discussed the core concepts behind Digital Asset Management. In the context of that definition, in this article I document how these concepts translate to the requirements and features that myActivo will implement. I will then build the implementation plan on GitHub projects so the roadmap is visible to anyone interested… Continue reading Requirements and Features

When… Continue reading Digital Asset Management
What is myActivo?
myActivo is an open-source software platform that reimagines what the management of physical assets in the digital era can be. Starting with no assumptions about what is possible, myActivo embodies and experiments with the ideas behind the concept of Digital Asset Management. What if instead of progressively adopting digital technologies into the engineering practice we… Continue reading What is myActivo?
