Editor's Notes

  • #8 When you add a new data system, the complexity only increases:You have to create all the transformations to load that dataYou have to reconfigure each product’s infrastructureAnd often you have to rebuild the infrastructure
  • #9 The firm view that students will not only use your content but also content from the web, other publishers and more importantly content from their peer. It’s about making connections and uncovering relationshipsBe able to understand and identify those opportunities.Smart content is made of legos that snap together to bring and even richer, more intelligent perspective to the end user. Sometimes is about the end product but other times is about providing the capabilities so that others can build those products. There is a lot of commonality in how work gets done but if the content doesn’t communicate well together it’s hard to get that leverage. The common language of contentActionable information must be well described, highly organized, seamlessly commingled and easily navigable. Content Marketplace is our strategy to leverage our deep and broad content assets and create enabling technology and capability as well as a common language of content across the company.
