INTERPLAY OF CONTENT AND CONTEXT
Keywords:
Context, Content Management, Information Modelling, MetadataAbstract
We examine the relationship between context engines and content management systems, showing by means of an example application how these should mutually interact with each other to ensure the timely delivery of relevant information. We show how a content management system can use context information to enrich its functionality and also how a general and abstract approach to content management can support context awareness. Information models of the general context engine and content management system that we have developed are presented, along with a description of how a symbiotic relationship of content and context can be achieved through the integration of these models.
