Hi Tony
We did something very experimental for an exhibition which approached this:
www.wellcomecollection.org/things
Which uses Flickr as a backend for 300+ object images and data in the 'calendar of things' via the API
I wrote a paper about it for Electronic Visualisation and the Arts, which is here:

There were some sticky moments with authentication but by and large it wasn't bad.
Best,
Danny

Subject: [MCG] Flickr Pro as a DAM, with Flickr API CMS integration
This might sound a bit crazy, so please bear with me, but has anyone ever thought of using Flickr Pro as a digital asset management system, then using the Flickr API to integrate with your collections management system? Is this even possible? Have you any experience of using Flickr as a DAM?
