Hi Marianne,

There is indeed a vast literature on content management. Look under document management, intranets, portals, digital library, electronic documents and other related keywords. Most of the excitement in this area seems to be concentrated around the emergence of XML and related standards that allow description of document structure and help with characterization of semantics. Another area of interest is automated tools for extracting concepts, text summarization, translation services and voice to text conversion, document clustering and improved search. Personalization through matching discrete content fragments to evolving behavioral profiles (auto-profiling) is yet another hot area.

I'm very interested in two aspects around content:

(a) Collaborative editing of the same document and the 'annealing of text and meaning' Look at the wiki genre Wiki links
(b) and the combination of static content with dynamic conversations in an information ecology

One of the powerful advances due to the web is the ability to integrate content with community, allowing the extraction of emergent knowledge from dialog and conversation and its preservation in well indexed, easy to navigate content repositories. Content comes alive when you can converse, edit, ammend, critique, append, thus transform and change a static document into a living information ecology

A very interesting new technology to watch out for, is coming from the marriage of semantics and neural nets. Take a look at DolphinSearch Promising new search tool

Hope this helps!
