Data-centric Workflow
The cornerstone of a data-centric workflow is the database. Far beyond helping you find digital "stuff," databases—such as FileMaker Pro, SQLServer and Oracle—provide the ability to relate multiple objects together without them having to be physically married. This is the quality that enables tasks to be performed simultaneously, such as color correction on images, while graphics are being built and pages are being laid out.
