Fig.1 Content management Cycle Activity
Content Management involves a chain of activities on selected contents (Fig-1) such as
identify, acquire, structure, combine, share, distribute, use, preserve, and eliminate. It
provides dynamic access to large content pools, digital assets, and Dynamic Medias. The
CLM (Content Life cycle management) uses standards to store and retrieve content.
Metadata plays a vital role for creating centralized repository of controls and efficient
retrieval.
2.1 Conversion of Print resources to digital format
First step in digitization process is selecting the content to be digitized. The list of
document for digitization should be sent to an expert committee for selection of relevant
contents. The approved documents are then digitized using appropriate hardware. The
digitized documents are edited by using editing software tools and converted to PDF
Format by Adobe Acrobat Suit. The entire PDF document is made searchable by running
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software, published on to web and made available
to Intranet. Backup and recovery process will ensure the continuous access to the
resources.
