Jeremy gets it right

[Namechange note:  Avid has an Open Media Management 'standard' that they proposed back in 1998.  I'm still researching it - but it's a conflict with this name - so I renamed it the Free Media Management standard - is honor of Richard Stallman.]

[Here's an interesting white paper on open media management - from the big-systems - SAN (Storage Area networks perspective.  Not clear if they're specifically referring to Avid's standard - or not.]

[Apparently Avid's efforts have been productized in their MediaManager product - which is part of the Avid Media Server product.  BTW They also have a product called MediaBrowse.  I just hope they don't go after MediaBar or MediaBand :-)]

[While we're at it - there's also the usage of the term open media management - with a bunch of SAN oriented products, one of them from a company called Comparex.]
