    Thanks for your question – I am guessing that “DAM” stands for Digital Asset Manager; is that right?

    Without more specific information I can only give you some general guidance. If your assets are images, they may have tags embedded as keywords in one ore more IPTC, EXIF or XMP meta data fields. MLA can extract this information and map it to WordPress standard fields (e.g. caption), taxonomy terms or custom fields. PDF documents also support some meta data and XMP fields.

    MLA also provides a large number of “hooks”, WordPress actions and filters, that you could use to write some PHP code for extracting the tags, matching them to your assets and mapping the tags to WordPress data. This approach requires some programming and detailed knowledge of your DAM.

    Those are the two MLA features that you might find useful. I hope that gives you some ideas for starting work on your application. Any additional information you can give me would let me be more specific. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
