Intellectual Property & Rights Management
What every web publisher is looking for?
What every web publisher is looking for?
• A system for managing digital content, resources and rights.
The Content Management Challenge
The Content Management Challenge
• Building interactive content stores for information delivery
• Managing multimedia content• Moderating feedback & participation • Maintaining design standards • Repurposing & syndicating content • Indexing, searching and navigation • Publishing is not a technical speciality • Multi-language publishing
CMS CharacteristicsCMS Characteristics• Content separated from presentation
– users are or can be insulated from the specific delivery coding (just as Word insulates the use from the internal markup)
– Site or Corporate design constraints are honoured
• Editorial Control• Users are separated from the mechanics of
publishing • Managing inbound and outbound content• Storing, or at least organising multimedia
content• Dynamic content serving• Rights management
Inbound content ModerationInbound content Moderation
• Take feedback, survey, commentary, review and other content submitted by external users
• Provide a mechanism for authorising/approving the content
ModerationModeration
• Used in BBS, Forum and Website architectures to provide controlled discussions, feedback and input
• Eg Montage:School submissions arrive in XML for moderation in the publishing system
• Submissions can be republished or used in “Mail Merge” style e-mailouts (eg E-Zine).
• Applications: Surveys, Reviews, Feedback, User contributions, Competitions, Subscriptions, etc
Repurposing & syndicating content
Repurposing & syndicating content
• News feeds and other information can be syndicated based on whatever selection rules apply
• Syndicated content can be delivered anywhere required via HTTP,XML, Email, FTP
• Building content in multiple forms:– Eg HTML information pages, broadbande
magazines
Indexing, searching and navigation
Indexing, searching and navigation
• The key to building structured self-maintaining and current websites
• Search engines alone have limited value, navigation aids are also important
• Indexing facilities can give structured subject and navigational guides based on content information
• The intellectual effort of classification ultimately pays off in large and complex sites
Intelligent AgentsIntelligent Agents
• Using the underlying data store to generate related subject areas, similar topics and associated articles
• Generating meta information to improve search engine discovery
• Generating meta information for advanced integration with search engines
Objective of a CMSObjective of a CMS
• Build a long-term multimedia content store of all relevant images, text and multimedia material
• Give end-user control over publishing• Maintain site Editorial standards• Combat issues of obsolescence in
representational technology
Applications in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities
Applications in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities
• In Art History– Photographic image databases– Feeding into online websites and virtual
exhibitions
• In Literature analysis and criticism– Full text databases– Re-generating and re-circulating out of print
items– The opportunity to encapsulate the “complete”
corpus of knowledge in a given “closed” literary segment (eg Greek & Roman Classics)
Multi-lingual issuesMulti-lingual issues
• Can the software be used in an international multi-office setting ?
• Multi-lingual site design raises issues of country-specific graphical design
• The UI might need to be country configurable
Rights managementRights management
• Every object in the database should have the capability to report on rights associated with the object
• Usage reporting on rights – a major challenge in existing web architectures
Looking for word processing features
Looking for word processing features
• WYSIWYG editing• Spell checking• Customised forms• Easy navigation, searching,
publishing
