Content Lifecycle Management – One topic at the german Plone Konferenz Munich

Managing the life of digital assets has evident importance for every company today. You can bury your data very easy with cheap storage. Easy storing should save time because only a minor percentage of the stored data needs retrieval later. The challenge is that nobody can apply the filter in advance. Storing in advance is obviously only one part of the solution. To avoid storing twice or more often is one amoungst others. If it comes to quality knowledge management is more important than data warehousing, because knowledge is the essence of information. Finally wisdom is choosing the right one(s) from the available answers.

Today we use multiple architectures for storing and retrieving information. The easiest and fastest is not Google but your brain. Sharpen this tool gives you the chance to taylor your memory to a storage of rules to create fresh thougths instead of using a trashcan of used facts.

Systems that can process rules can be used to implement and support flexible workflows. Without them you are attached to strings as if to be controlled by a puppeteer. If you can change these rules yourself you are only limited by your imagination.

OpenSource software can lead you to create such flexible systems and give the chance of being part of a development by a free community. The talk will focus the lifecycle of digital content from creation until the decline of its life in an archive or the migration to new systems. This is the successor of a similar talk the author gave 2006 at the DZUG Tagung in St. Augustin, Germany. An essay based on these facts related to the popular OpenSource CMS Plone is available in german.
