Abstract

We have ever more opportunities to create content, e.g. using digital cameras, or, taking photos with mobile phones and publishing them on the Web, to name just a few. At the same time, as content consumers, we have a growing need for context-aware, tailored content, e.g. location and time-based services delivered via wireless LAN to our PDA. Thus, as content creators we aim at higher levels of re-use and as consumers we expect individualised content at high quality. There is a gap, one may call it a “content crisis” even, between the growing opportunities for content creation and the increasing needs raised by content consumption. Content Engineering as a discipline may be a step forward to bridge that gap.
