 * Thanks for your question and for the link to the example application, Media Valet.
 * As the name suggests, Media Library Assistant adds features to the WordPress 
   Media Library. MLA relies on WordPress and/or themes and other plugins to provide
   many of the functions that products like Media Valet includes. MLA can be an 
   element of a DAM solution; it’s a tool but I would not characterize it as a solution
   on its own. That said, here are some of the features MLA adds to WordPress:
    - Taxonomy support – the ability to assign hierarchical terms (e.g. Att. Categories)
      and less formal tags (e.g., Att. Tags) to Media Library items so you can filter
      admin and end-user views of the library.
    - Bulk and Quick edit – to make it easier to add or change values for caption,
      description, etc. on the Media/Assistant admin screen and during the new media
      upload process.
    - Metadata mapping – to extract IPTC/EXIF/XMP metadata values from media files
      and use it to populate standard WordPress fields, taxonomy term assignments
      and custom field values.
    - Shortcodes – `[mla_gallery]` for gallery display and `[mla_tag_cloud]/[mla_term_list]`
      for displaying taxonomy terms used to filter a gallery display.
 * If you look through earlier support topics you can see many examples of applications
   for searching, filtering and displaying galleries of images, PDF documents and
   other assets. I am always happy to answer MLA-related questions and solve problems.
 * I hope that gives you a better sense of how MLA might fit as part of your application.
   I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have further questions
   about the plugin. Thanks for your interest.
