An asset library is a SharePoint 2013 app that has been optimized for
the storage of digital assets. These assets can include audio, images,
and video. The default view for this library presents the assets as
thumbnails.
One of the optimizations implemented out of the box is the library’s
ability to recognize extended metadata information contained with the
media, such as author, date taken, people present in the image,
resolution of the camera, and comments. The library also has the ability
to generate and display a thumbnail image.
