Knowledge, Information, Content Management

Content Management

Content can broadly be understood as including both information and (storable) knowledge, where knowledge is also a form of recorded information that is contextualised. Content can be represented in various formats, such as images, animation, movies and print. There are three main components to content:

• what it relates to – a use through natural language or through a visual format;
• how it is organised in a logical manner, for example introduction, sections, conclusion; and,
• presentation, what the user sees and how ones views that content

Content management refers to a range of processes such as the packaging of content chunks, tracking of its use and reuse, formats used, and issues of localisation and internationalisation. The use of chunks of content for particular purposes relays on the knowledge and discovery of those chunks which is dependent on efffective organisation of content. Content management systems have been developed to tract and monitor changes made to content and maintain authenticity.

Current content management systems are designed with additional functionality such as display information under specified categories, enable the user to save search results, and provide inbuilt alert mechanisms.

Information Management

Information management is the organisation of information to enable effective resource discovery. Effective information management is dependent on standards. Such standards include thesauri, subject headings, information management schemes such as metadata, MARC, cataloguing rules and classification schemes. All these standards contribute to enable the description of resources/information in a consistent manner. It is through describing similar resources in a consistent manner that we achieve precision in search results.

Information management standards include things such as subject headings, taxonomies, and the protocols for their storage and retrieval. Information Management standards have probably been used ever since libraries were first established.

Knowledge Management

Knowledge Management is a multi-disciplined approach to achieving organisational objectives by making the best use of knowledge. It focuses on processes such as acquiring, creating and sharing knowledge and the culture and technical foundation that support those objectives.

Knowledge Management (KM) standards, however, are in process of being developed and can cover a wide range of practices. Typically, KM involves an alignment of organisational objectives with the knowledge processes such as acquisition, workflow, and sharing. It also involves technical and cultural processes.

1. Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR)
   Category: Knowledge, Information, Content Management
   
   The Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR)(current edition is AACR II) are designed for use in the construction of catalogues and other lists in general libraries of all sizes. The rules cover the description of, and the provision of access points for, all library materials commonly collected at the present time. Part I deals with the provision of information describing the item being catalogued, and Part II deals with the determination and establishment of headings (access points) under which the descriptive information is to be presented to catalogue users, and with the making of references to those headings. In both parts the rules proceed from the general to the specific. AACR is co-published by the American Library Association, the Canadian Library Association, and the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (UK).

5. Australian Standard Research Classification (ASRC) - Socio-Economic Objective (SEO)
   Category: Knowledge, Information, Content Management
   
   The SEO Classification allows R&D data to be classified according to the researcher's perceived purpose. The purpose categories take account of processes, products, health, education and other social and environmental aspects of particular interest. A purpose classification such as the SEO provides a set of categories which collectively exhaust all the objectives of research. In this respect, the scope of the SEO is more extensive than a classification of economic activities such as the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), because not all R&D has an economic motive or context.

37. Learning Marketplace: Meaning, Metadata and Content Syndication in the Learning Object Economy
    Category: Knowledge, Information, Content Management
    
    Stephen Downes informs that this book is much more than merely a technical text on how to create a content syndication network. It is at the same time an extended discourse on how we, as a society, ought to create and acquire knowledge, which in turn becomes a discourse on what constitutes knowledge, how we related to it, and how we talk about it. An essay like The New Literacy may seem as far removed from a technical treatise as you may get, but unless you create the analogy of multimedia objects as words in a new language, many of the concepts seem muddled and disjointed. Allow us to communicate with learning objects, however, and the flow from Education and Embodiment to The Aeffability of Knowledge Management to The Lattecentric Ecosystem to Design and Reusability of Learning Objects becomes clear.

53. Resource List Interoperability
    Category: Knowledge, Information, Content Management
    
    The Resource List Interoperability (RLI) specification details how structured metadata can be exchanged between systems that store and expose resources for the purpose of creating resource lists and those that gather and organise those Resource Lists for educational or training purposes. A typical example of such a resource list is a reading list. The specification is based on an abstract service behaviour and data model that describes in generalised terms a resource at the item level, a collection of these resources (ie a list), and the behaviours associated with a resource list management service. The data model is then bound or expressed in XML, combining elements that primarily map to subsets of the IEEE-LOM (Learning Object Metadata) and ISO 690-2 bibliographic citation standards to describe the resource items and aggregated resource list. The abstract service interface is bound to web services expressed as WSDL. The IMS Content Packaging specification wraps the resource list to enable transfer between systems.
