Content Engineering: Bridging the Gap Between Content Creation and Consumption

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 3511))

Abstract

We have ever more opportunities to create content, e.g. using digital cameras, or, taking photos with mobile phones and publishing them on the Web, to name just a few. At the same time, as content consumers, we have a growing need for context-aware, tailored content, e.g. location and time-based services delivered via wireless LAN to our PDA. Thus, as content creators we aim at higher levels of re-use and as consumers we expect individualised content at high quality.

There is a gap, one may call it a “content crisis” even, between the growing opportunities for content creation and the increasing needs raised by content consumption. Content Engineering as a discipline may be a step forward to bridge that gap.
