Metadata based Content Management and Distribution

Management of static and dynamic information flows (from real-time to archives)

Automated or manual Metadata extraction Automated routing to mobile and fixed

networks Scalability

Any ContentAny Content

Content Object is fed to Profium SIR Metadata is extracted automatically Transformed to standardized RDF

metadata Content has to be structured like XML Metadata can be extracted automatically

from text files But for image, audio and video files,

metadata has to be input manually

Right Content, Right Place, Right TimeRight Content, Right Place, Right Time

After extracting metadata Profium SIR stores it to its database

Content Object can remain in the original location or can be stored in database

A specific metadata field stored in Profium SIR indicates where content object is located

By exploiting the metadata the right content object can be delivered to the right place at the right time

QueriesQueries

Profium SIR provides 3 kinds of queries– Interactive Queries– Timed Queries– Persistent Queries

Interactive QueriesInteractive Queries

User defines case by case what kind of content objects he wants

price development in real time reported every 30 minutes as an SMS message to a GSM phone

Persistent QueriesPersistent Queries
