Mimir archive

Connecting a media asset management system (MAM) lets Nuvelics look in your own archive for pictures and footage whenever it enriches a story, so your editors see what you already have before they reach for something else. Mimir is the one MAM you can connect today. The steps to create a connection are in the MAM settings tab.

What to ask your Mimir administrator forCopy Anchor Link

• Your Mimir address, the host your tenant's Mimir runs on. It must be https.
• An API key for the integration. Nuvelics stores it encrypted and uses it for every search and every read.

What Nuvelics does with it, and whenCopy Anchor Link

Nuvelics only reads from your archive. It never uploads, changes or deletes anything in it.

1. Searching, during enrichment. After enrichment has worked out which people, places and organizations a story is about, Nuvelics searches every MAM connection you have for pictures and for video of up to the four main ones, then ranks what it finds against the story. It keeps the best ten of each kind. A story enriched before you connected the archive is searched the next time it is enriched.
2. Showing the matches. The matches appear on the story as photos and video from your archive, where editors can look through them. They also appear in the Saga panel, under Archive.
3. Using a photo. When an output uses an archive photo, such as a social card or an image in an article filed to your CMS, Nuvelics reads the picture from Mimir at that moment.

Photos and video that are not in your archive come from elsewhere; a story's matches are only the ones Mimir returned.

What to expectCopy Anchor Link

• Searching needs the connection to be reachable and the key to be valid. If the key is refused, the connection's Health turns Unhealthy, with the message that Nuvelics could not use the stored key and to re-enter it. If Mimir cannot be reached and returns nothing at all, Health also turns Unhealthy, with a message that Nuvelics could not reach the connection, and the next enrichment tries again.
• A story with no connection, or no matches, enriches as normal. Searching your archive never blocks enrichment.
• Mimir can refuse a search as too complex. Nuvelics then asks a cheaper question.
• The connection tab has no test button; Health comes from the searches and reads Nuvelics actually makes.
• Each search is a request against your Mimir account. With several connections, Nuvelics searches them all for each story.
