asset-management

I've started down a line of art asset development that will allow me to (hopefully) reuse and improve assets for several games.

But how do I go about storing and finding them?

Let's say for example I decide to focus on RPGs for ~2 years. I would create items, monsters, etc. and store them somewhere. How would I categorize them and make them easier to search later on?

Is the best solution "use directories with broad categories like landscape/items/monsters/etc.?"
