About the project:
Content management includes gathering information from heterogeneous sources; monitoring several information sources continuously; filtering, combining and modifying information; creating new material based on or reusing content fragments; and storing and archiving content in databases.
In this project we analyze content management processes in order to recognize automatizable subprocesses. Further on, we intend to develop methods for automating these subprocesses and implement prototypes for the corresponding tools. Particularly, we address both the challenge of heterogeneous source material and different media and platforms of the final products.
