It’s nice to find someone else who is helping publishers make the transition from a centralized gatekeeper model based on content “containers” to a bottom-up digital model focused on the reader’s (user’s) workflow. Brian O’Leary approaches the issue from a publishing industry point of view, while I view it from the perspective of enterprise information management.
Compare his elegant and thoughtful video, “Context first: A unified field theory of publishing,” with the following articles from the Montague Institute Review:
Packaging knowledge: Evolution of the book (1998)
Usability from three angles (2002)
Selling taxonomy: A blind alley? (2004)
Harmonizing content: Issues in print to Web migration (2010)
