Abstract:

Many content management systems today do not take into account how the information is to be used. These tools, and the designers who use them, must adapt to the new environment in which we live. Designers can not be present at all times to craft each presentation. Likewise, systems must support the design process to ensure the consistent and timely presentation of information in a variety of contexts. These systems need to provide information fragments for reuse in a variety of contexts. In addition, these information fragments need to have a “sense of themselves” in order to be able to render properly in these different contexts. These different situations each have their own requirements on the information. The information, therefore, must be carefully designed and can not be automatically derived. Content management systems must support sensible fragments of information that can be presented in different contexts so that it is relevant to the task at hand and to the device on which it is rendered.
