You can browse through collections and digital assets stored in the DAMS similarly to going through folders and files on a computer disk. Please note though that this is an analogy, the DAMS collections are not really folders and the digital assets are not really files.
On the start page (https://dams.lib.utexas.edu/), you will see the Top Level Collections available in the DAMS, grouping content along organizational and thematic focal points. Each Top Level Collection has its own namespace for the PIDs of assets stored underneath a Top Level Collection (see Glossary: Namespace). The namespace prefix in an asset's PID indicates which Top Level Collection an asset belongs to. The PID utlmisc:f584473c-d43f-4436-9ddc-b74b039b2682 for instance is for a digital asset in the Miscellaneous collection.
