CREATIVE INDUSTRIES
Broadly speaking, the term ‘creative industries’ refers
to a range of economic activities that are concerned
with the generation and commercialization of
creativity, ideas, knowledge and information.
The term ‘creative industries’ describes businesses
with creativity at their heart.
For example design, music, publishing, architecture, film
and video, crafts, visual arts, fashion, TV and radio,
advertising, literature, computer games and the
performing arts.

and video; interactive leisure software; music; the
performing arts; publishing; software and computer

CONFUSION BETWEEN CREATIVE AND
CULTURAL INDUSTRIES
“In its broadest sense it is used to refer to all the industries that
generate copyright, patents and trademarks. In other contexts it
is used to refer only to such industries that produce content or
cultural industries.” (Hawkins, 1991)
Possibly the most accepted definition at an international level is
that of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in
the UK.
According to the Department, creative industries are those that:
“Have their origin in creativity, individual skills and talent and
have the potential to create wealth and employment through the
generation and exploitation of intellectual property.”
5
CULTURAL INDUSTRIES
The term ‘cultural industries’ is also used by some
agencies, though this term relates to a more specific
range of industries and can be regarded as a subset of
the creative industries.
The cultural industries are defined by UNESCO as
‘industries that combine the creation, production and
commercialization of contents which are intangible and
cultural in nature
these contents are typically protected by copyright
and they can take the form of a good or a service.’

The survey found strong interest in agritourism among farmers in northern New Mexico. Of the 63 farmer respondents, 33 currently offer agritourism activities and 22 more want to. Respondents described a wide array of agricultural experiences available, from farm tours to cultural activities.

Marketing efforts are mostly local currently; expanding use of online marketing could attract more visitors. Respondents expressed the most interest in training for marketing and website development assistance.
Tom Aageson is an expert on cultural entrepreneurism and the creative economy. He argues that developing the creative economy requires an integrated approach across state departments, including education. He emphasizes supporting cultural entrepreneurs and developing their skills.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
