Towards Intelligent Cross-Media Publishing: Media Practices and Technology Convergence Perspectives

  • Chapter
Book cover Media Convergence Handbook - Vol. 1

Part of the book series: Media Business and Innovation ((MEDIA))

Abstract

This chapter investigates technological issues that have arisen in implementing cross-media publishing. Specifically the various content types (text, pictures, audio, video, etc.) that are included in cross-media publishing require different management and prerequisites with respect to the media publishing channels and the involved terminals at both ends, production and consumer. A modular content documentation, selection and management model is proposed for intelligent cross-media publishing automation, taking advantage of contemporary semantic multimodal interaction, sophisticated meta-data processing and Web 2.0/3.0 trends.
