AXMEDIS IST-2-511299

Topic: automated cross media content production for multichannel distribution

Issue: achieve a high quality, template based content production via automated content repurposing

Solution: provide the expertise of publishers for content production process description and modeling

Followed approach

Collect cases and best practices of content production in the various media

Properly describe processes, practices and tools

Model & formalise the workflow underpinning addressed process

Support and mentor developers in their efforts to best meet publishers needs and expectations (via testing)

The Kiosk case

A scenario for a semi-automated based content production within a museum easily extendible to include asset management

An integrated content production among distributed actors supported by WFM with extensive usage of templates

Rapid prototyping based development

AXMEDIS and IMSS

A possible seed for :Extension of template based content

production for CMS / LCMS / KMSAdoption of new/advanced WFM

techniques in publishing environmentContent accessibility improvement via

production process modificationAutomated generation of smart contentConsultancy on WFM to publishers

Content modelling

A functional template for the content is designed (including navigation controls…)

A language related structural template is created (adding a language choice layer)

The two are combined in the final content
