## Abstract

A method for consolidating reusable image components with multi-media contents is provided. The method includes defining a location in a content template for storing a library of reusable image components and multi-media contents. The method further includes transmitting at least one multi-media content of a digital asset management environment, wherein the transmitted at least one multi-media content is stored in the defined location of the content template with the library of reusable image components. The method further includes determining if the selected at least one multi-media content was transmitted, stored and, is present in the defined location of the content template. The method further includes generating in the defined location of authoring content template, another library of reusable image components of the at the least one multi-media content, if the at least one multi-media content is not confirmed present in the defined location of the content template.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A computer-implemented method for consolidating reusable image components with multi-media contents, the computer-implemented method comprises:
defining, by one or more processors, a location in a content template of a web content management environment for storing a library of reusable image components and multi-media contents of a digital asset management environment, wherein the multi-media contents comprise multiple versions of multi-media files comprising an active version and all previous versions of multi-media files of the multi-media contents, wherein the defined location is configured to consolidate the library of reusable image components with the multi-media contents, wherein the library of reusable image components includes component identifiers of the at least one multi-media content, and wherein the component identifiers include web content tables, web content lists, or web content text elements, that are compiled for storing, editing, or deploying multi-media contents of the at least one multi-media content in the web content management environment;
receiving, by the one or more processors, at least one multi-media content for storage in the digital asset management environment;
determining, by the one or more processors, if the received at least one multi-media content is present in the defined location of the content template, wherein the determination is based on search of component identifiers of the library of reusable image components, the component identifiers include web content tables, web content lists, or web content text elements, that are compiled for storing, editing, or deploying the multi-media contents within digital asset management environment; and
consolidating and linking, by the one or more processors, the received at least one multi-media content with the determined present at least one multi-media content, wherein consolidating comprises mapping each link to a single instance of the at least one multi-media content, wherein the single instance of the at least one multi-media content is linked to an active version of the reusable image components associated with the at least one multi-media content, and wherein linking comprises retrieving the active version of the reusable image components linked to the at least one multi-media content from the library of reusable image components to the defined location, and wherein linking the active version of the reusable image components to the at least one multi-media content further comprises displaying the active version of the reusable image components through web content management environment, to a website.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein if the at least one multi-media content is confirmed present in the defined location of the content template, the at least one multi-media content is automatically linked, and consolidated with the library of reusable image components, wherein the linked and consolidated library of reusable image components provides a platform for dynamic management of the at least one multi-media contents in the web content management environment.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:
selecting, by the one or more processors, the at least one multi-media content, wherein the at least one multi-media content includes a text based data content, a video based data content, and a voice based data content, including, at least one of graphical sources, media sources, or image sources that are published, edited, or modified in the web content management environment.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The computer-implemented method of claim 3, wherein the at least one multi-media contents are selected in an administrative client interface via a digital asset management environment.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The computer-implemented method of claim 4, wherein the digital asset management environment provides a protocol for downloading, renaming, storing, rating, grouping, archiving, optimizing, or exporting the at least one multi-media contents to the administrative client interface.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the library of reusable image component comprises image metadata, wherein the image metadata includes at least one of web image identification, web image hypertext markup language elements, or web text elements of the at least one multi-media content.
