“[T]he current and prospective era of information abundance will challenge many basic assumptions and practices about safeguarding, protecting, filtering, preserving, evaluating, purging, describing, cataloguing, and vetting information for the purposes of teaching, learning, and scholarship”<\/span>Paul

Paul Gandel, Richard Katz and
\nSusan Metros<\/span> discuss the life of a mind in an era of abundance, noting
\nthat, thanks to the proliferation of computers and networks, access to
\ninformation is now relatively easy, inexpensive widespread and
\ndemocratic. The challenge as they see it is in the management of all
\nthis information for which they envision an
\n\u201cinformation ecology\u201d that focuses on organically building shared
\nknowledge stores from the bottom up<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nCurrent
\nsystems for managing institutional repositories such as DSpace use
\nrigid organizational schema designed to meet the needs of the
\ninstitution not the individual…<\/span><\/p>\n

Systems for managing personal repositories should allow individuals to created their own organization, sequences and contextual relationships…<\/span><\/p>\n

Plethora of content management systems…<\/span><\/span>
\nThere are a plethora of content management systems on the market today, systems for managing courses, news, journals, e-portfolio, research, archives and so on. All of these systems control how content is published along a continuum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Segue for evolving publications, Concerto for completed publications<\/span><\/span>
\nSegue<\/span> as a content management system is designed for <\/span>evolving<\/span> publications of primarily textual material. It is complemented by <\/span>Concerto<\/span>, our digital objects management system, which focuses more on <\/span>completed<\/span> publications of any content ranging from text to images, audio, video to simulations and so on. In their next versions, content from either of these systems will be interchangeable with Segue functioning as a portal for Concerto collections and exhibitions and Concerto functioning as an archive and search interface of Segue sites.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evolving content granules, collections and exhibitions.<\/span><\/span>
\nThese systems will have nearly identical functionality but will differ primarily in their user interfaces. Segue will be designed to provide strong support for the hierarchical and chronological or sequential organization of evolving content blocks. Concerto will provide stronger support for searching collections, creating exhibitions and adding metadata that describes assets that have completed their creative evolution. Segue will be a portal for content from a variety of sources, Concerto will be an archive and search interface.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Vendors from previously distinct industries are innovating extraordinary new convergent learning technologies and integrating them into product suites. The applications they\u2019re developing are known by a bewildering array of three-letter acronyms.<\/span><\/span>Adkins, S., “The Brave New World of Learning<\/a>,” TD. (57) 6, June 2003: 29-37.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Most of these management systems may well be encapulated by the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Content: for evolving publications
\nWorkflow: i.e. publication management
\nKnowledge: tracking assets
\nAssets: creating assets<\/p>\n

Robust feature-rich content managment systems are needed to to create
\nindividuals repositories.\u00a0 In particular, individuals should be
\nable to:<\/p>\n

1. Create organizational hierarchies and associative categories of content objects
\n2. Control layout, appearance, order and sequence of content
\n3. Specify various types of content abstraction
\n(e.g. RSS, chronological and categorical summary lists)
\n2. Control access to content they are authorized to manipulate<\/p>\n
