Abstract: A central asset registry and associated satellite registries tie Digital Asset Management (DAM) repositories and satellite repositories into a unified enterprise system. The system removes rights and asset relationship tracking from the DAMs and the satellites by gathering asset metadata tags and capturing digital asset rights and relationships between assets to improve speed, scalability, and flexibility in analyzing and traversing networks of rights and relationships of digital assets. The central asset registry and the satellite registries use a pluggable architecture and track and store multi-dimensional relationships as an asset hierarchy. The asset hierarchy and rights model depicts rights and relationship data between the assets and provides a flexible array of asset types and properties for addition of new assets, new asset types, and new rights without re-factoring the other data, nodes, and edges. The system uses asset metadata to create edge relationships between the assets.

Abstract: An article carrier that is specially designed to permit easy packaging of articles such as pet food containers in a three-tier array. The article carrier is easy to assemble from the formed blank, and when assembled provides a sturdy structure which can be easily transported and stored. The assembled structure is such that substantial portions of the packaged article are exposed to view without degrading the overall structural integrity of the carrier.
