The need
for organizing large bodies of content into meaningful
patterns has raised the bar for tool providers. It's
not enough to have a taxonomy tool, search engine or
visualization tool anymore: entire systems of content
organization and presentation are increasingly important
for institutions to consider. This paper looks at a
number of leading tool providers, how their outlooks and
strategies have changed over the past year, and how
institutions are using these tools to make a difference in
their organizations.
The
Knowledge Management movement is at a crossroads.
Organizations need to make sense of vast stores of
information more than ever, but the IT-centric approach to
KM that requires high technology investments has yielded
limited results. This paper looks at the trends that
have lead to this impasse, and suggests how to move beyond
the impasse by by concentrating on how content can create
measurable value in real-world situations.
Content
ecommerce is moving rapidly into new ways of defining and
measuring content valuation. The trends and concepts
that are emerging hold out lessons for both content vendors
and institutions trying to make sense of the value of their
own content initiatives. This paper examines these trends
and some of the key tools that are emerging to help people
manage content valuation.
