Component Content Management in Practice.

This paper from the Gilbane Report describes examples of high reuse content management. This is on similar grounds to what Ann Rockley has been pursuing with her "unified content" strategy.

[elearningpost]

unified content strategy supports all content requirements while maximizing reuse to improve consistency and efficiency. This strategy usually calls for content to be created in modular components that are independent of format so you can mix and match for different products and types of media. A clear reuse plan should be developed, identifying which content is to be reused in which products and types of media.

Once its audit was completed and a unified content strategy developed, the manufacturer selected an XML-based management system to serve as the sole source of content (with authors and editors using their preferred XML-compatible authoring tools). Approved content is then fed to the legacy Web and catalog systems for delivery online and in print. The new approach promises to save millions on translation costs alone while eliminating inconsistencies and missing information.

This is from the Anne Rockley paper... Makes a lot of sense.  would like to meet her.  Online seminar on the 1st

I know the "professionals" who work on search, taxonomies, the semantic web and the like will all know about this resource, but many who are interested in topics like "folksonomies" could do worse than spend a bit of time reading some of the papers published in the CSDL's online library of publications. If you are interested in these kinds of topics, be prepared to set aside many hours for what you find, (and also to turn on your 'academic publications' bullsh*t filter - god how I detest some of the conventions of academic writing, much as I understand why they exist). - SWL
