Content Management for Multimedia Project Development - User's View
Christine M. Okon, Okon New Media, San Francisco
Seminar abstract
Content is a word that has been defined, stretched and redesigned to meet the
expectations of many industries and individuals who are trying to make the
most of multimedia. Content is what remains when the technology wears off:
the story, the intellectual property, the image, the song, the art.
Ms. Okon will compare the structure and idiom of different traditional media
to define "multimedia" content within the context of multimedia project
development. She will discuss the trends, challenges and opportunities of
acquiring, developing, distributing and managing multimedia content for
different environments and applications.
Demonstrations of stock image CD-ROMs and internet sites will be included.
