Master your content using these content management process
by RAJ KAMAL Technology, Travel,Health & MedicalContent
management is a set of processes which supports the managing, and publishing of
information. When accessed via computers, this stored information is referred
to as ‘digital content’.
Digital content may take the form of different
texts such as multimedia files (video or audio), electronic documents, or any
other file that follows content lifecycle. Content management is a complex
process to manage so much so that large and small commercial software vendors
like Microsoft and Interwoven offer content management software to automate
essential aspects of content lifecycle.
Content Management Processes
Content Management Processes and technologies used vary by organizational structure and mission. For instance, e-commerce websites, news organizations, marketing companies, etc. all use content management, but in different ways. This leads to different names and difference in terminology and the number of steps in the process. For example, some digital content is created by more than one author. The same content may or may not be edited, and an editorial oversight may be provided, approving the same for publication.
Likewise,
publishing may also take various forms – it may be granting digital access
rights to a content type or publishing content out to others. An updated
version may supersede the same content and thus moved onto archives or removed
from use.
- Creator/Curator – responsible for creating or curating the
content
- Editor – responsible for proofreading and fine-tuning the
content message
- Publisher – responsible for releasing the content in the
requested format for use
- Administrator – responsible for managing various access
permissions to files and folders
- Consumer – the reader who consumes the final content after
it is shared or published.
A
content management system incorporates enterprise search as well as retrieval,
making repository an inherent part of the process. It takes the following
forms:
• Document management system
• Workflow for article publication
• Web content management system
• Single source content management system
The business process is part of content management lifecycle to emphasize that every document must refer to it for any phase in the content management process. Content management has to meet one or more business goals on a regular basis. Every process in the content management has to be aligned with these goals. So, continuously ask yourself if what you are doing in the content management process or project meets the defined business goal or not.
