Partial Redundancy

XML (Extensible Markup Language) represents one of flexible platforms for processing enterprise documents. Its simple syntax and powerful software infrastructure for processing this type of documents is a guarantee for high interoperability of individual documents. XML is today one of technologies influencing all aspects of ICT area.In the paper questions and basic principles of reusing XML-based documents are described in the field of enterprise documents. If we use XML databases or XML data types for storing these types of documents then partial redundancy could be expected due to possible documents’ similarity. This similarity can be found especially in documents’ structure and also in documents’ content and its elimination is necessary part of data optimization.The main idea of the paper is focused to possibilities how to think about dividing complex XML docu­ments into independent fragments that can be used as standalone documents and how to process them.Conclusions could be applied within software tools working with XML-based structured data and documents as document management systems or content management systems.

Content Management Systems

Content management is essential for organizational work. It has been defined as “a variety of tools and methods that are used together to collect, process, and deliver content of diverse types” (McIntosh, 2000, p. 1). Content management originates from document management. In fact, a great deal of contemporary content management system functionality has evolved from document management systems. Documents are identifiable units of content, flexibly structured for human comprehension (Murphy, 2001; Salminen, 2003). They have traditionally been considered as containers for organizational content. Document management considers the creation, manipulation, use, publishing, archiving, and disposal of documents as well as the continuous development and design of these activities in organizational domains. In different domains, the requirements for document management differ accordingly. For example, manufacturing companies possess a bulk of technical drawings to be managed, and in e-government organizations, the document content may act as a normative reference that needs to be frozen and archived for long periods of time (Honkaranta, Salminen, & Peltola, 2005). Therefore document management in e-government is commonly split into two types: document management focusing on document production and the records management considering document repository management. Research on document management in organizations has been carried out focusing on a multitude of issues, including document standardization (Salminen, 2003), document metadata (Murphy, 1998), document and information retrieval (Blair, 2002), the social role of documents for organizational groups (Murphy, 2001), as well as document engineering (Glushko & McGrath, 2005). The wide selection of content management systems available has evolved mainly from document management systems (Medina, Meyers, Bragg, & Klima, 2002). They combine into single systems various functionalities developed separately in domains such as library sciences, text databases, information retrieval, and engineering databases. The essential features of document management systems cover: • Library services and version management • Management of user roles and access rights • Text retrieval based on metadata and full-text search • Support for document life-cycle and related work- flows • Management of metadata, as information about documents • Multi-channel publishing for a multitude of devices and print A survey on content management systems revealed that many of the systems still have a monolithic and closed architecture and their ability to adopt proprietary encodings is scarce (Paganelli & Pettenati, 2005). Contemporary content management systems’ support for access management and for customizing workflows for integrating content into organizational processes may be modest. For example, the popular Microsoft SharePoint Server (http://www.microsoft. com/sharepoint/default.mspx) only assigns access rights to folders, not to individual files or units within the files. Content management software may include limited functionality for the design and management of an organization’s Web site. The applicability of the document management approach and the systems for content management have been limited due to an orientation towards using documents as the only unit for managing content. As a consequence of this approach, long documents are difficult to browse through, portions of document content are difficult to reuse in other documents, and long documents are inconvenient for Web delivery (Honkaranta et al., 2005). At least two recent approaches on content management which aim at complementing these weaknesses can be identified. These are Web content management and the use of structured documents in the form of XML.

Content Management Systems

We have identified four models for integrating digital edition content into eXist-db [eXist-db], which are, in increasing order of dependence on eXist-db itself: 1) using Apache [Apache] and PHP [PHP] to mediate between the user and eXist-db, so that eXist-db provides only XML database services, 2) a pure XQuery framework for building an eXist-db web application [Web applications], 3) the eXist-db HTML templating framework [HTML templating], and 4) TEI Publisher [TEI Publisher]. Our examination and comparison of these ways of conceptualizing and implementing the infrastructure for a digital edition reveals that each of them has advantages and disadvantages, primarily from the perspective of sustainability. These considerations apply to edition frameworks generally, and are therefore not specific to eXist-db, which has been used here as an example because of the number of editions that employ it and the variety of models it currently supports.

Content Capture

The capabilities of the current generation of course management systems (CMS) are limited; even market-leading platforms are arguably inadequate for the needs of learners, instructors, and educational administrators. This chapter reviews the shortcomings of CMS and identifies problems associated with content capture, content re-use, search and retrieval, document management, IP management, connectivity, support for open standards, and support for learning strategies. We argue that the future lies in the adoption and adaptation of existing learning content management systems (LCMS). LCMS have evolved primarily in the corporate market and are rapidly developing into highly flexible applications that can implement a wide variety of learning and knowledge management strategies.

Good Practice Guideline

Purpose This paper aims to widen as well as deepen the discussion on standards and good practice guidelines beyond just local or regional efforts and include international developments. Design/methodology/approach An extensive review of literature was used to develop an outline of existing standards and good practice guidelines that are used by records management professionals to manage digital records. Findings The analysis reveals that there has been a long tradition in standards and good practice guidelines development dating back to the 1980s. The study also reveals that there are two broad categories of standards and good practice guidelines, those with assessment mechanisms and those without such mechanisms. The choice of whether to have an assessment mechanism depends on the purpose for which a standard or good practice guideline is developed. Originality/value The paper explores an extensive array of standards and good practice guidelines, their utility and their geographical coverage. It demonstrates how different terms such as Electronic Records Management Systems, Electronic Document Management Systems, Electronic Document and Records Management Systems and Enterprise Content Management have been used without much clarity on how these terms relate to each other, and proposes a clarification framework.

Abstract The recent advancements in information and communication technologies have altered instructional contexts and re-shaped them into smart learning environments. One of the most common practices of these environments are learning management systems (LMS) where the learners and instructors utilize a software platform to fulfill, support and manage instructional activities around predefined objectives. Successful implementations of LMS have brought a variety on its usage from different cultures, genders, age groups or schooling levels. Hence, this study focuses on understanding the role of culture on LMS design, in along with the effects of gender, age and school year variables. The study participants were German (n = 83) and Spanish (n = 83) university students attending a fully online course offered by a South Korean university. At the end of the course, the students were asked to fulfill a survey on effective LMS design by pointing which features of LMS were more important for them. The survey included twenty questions on four major design factors; content management (six items), ease of use (five items), communication within LMS (four item) and screen design (five items). The dataset was analyzed by non-parametric statistical techniques around four variables on four dimensions (and their related survey questions). The most important result was insufficiency of one unique LMS design for all students which demonstrates the necessity of student demographics tailored smart systems. Additionally, age and gender variables were not making significant differences on LMS design as much as culture and school year variables. The study also revealed that while German students would appreciate goal-oriented individual learning, Spanish students would value process-oriented group learning with active communication. Furthermore, many features of LMS were highly valued by the freshman students more than other levels. The paper discusses these variables with possible explanations from the literature and depicts implementations for future design practices.

The Web

While digitalization of cultural organizations is in full swing and growth, it is common knowledge that websites can be used as a beacon to expand the awareness and consideration of their services on the Web. Nevertheless, recent research results indicate the managerial difficulties in deploying strategies for expanding the discoverability, visibility, and accessibility of these websites. In this paper, a three-stage data-driven Search Engine Optimization schema is proposed to assess the performance of Libraries, Archives, and Museums websites (LAMs), thus helping administrators expand their discoverability, visibility, and accessibility within the Web realm. To do so, the authors examine the performance of 341 related websites from all over the world based on three different factors, Content Curation, Speed, and Security. In the first stage, a statistically reliable and consistent assessment schema for evaluating the SEO performance of LAMs websites through the integration of more than 30 variables is presented. Subsequently, the second stage involves a descriptive data summarization for initial performance estimations of the examined websites in each factor is taking place. In the third stage, predictive regression models are developed to understand and compare the SEO performance of three different Content Management Systems, namely the Drupal, WordPress, and custom approaches, that LAMs websites have adopted. The results of this study constitute a solid stepping-stone both for practitioners and researchers to adopt and improve such methods that focus on end-users and boost organizational structures and culture that relied on data-driven approaches for expanding the visibility of LAMs services.
