\chapter{Content management}
\label{ch:contents}

IP traffic on the Internet and private enterprise networks has been growing exponentially for some time. Today the convergence of computing, telecommunication and digital media is enabled by the technology, but it is actually driven by the content. For example, in the case of electronic publishing lack of established advertising/billing models and insufficient results have hindered online advertising~\cite{b66}.

Markus Kajanto states in his doctoral dissertation the notion of virtualization of content. The initial content is called by Kajanto primary content, which is divided into two parts: virtual part and physical part. The virtual part of the content is distributable through the information network, but the physical part is distributed outside the information network. What the primary content is, depends on the industry and application in question. From the Internet service provider's point of view it is essential that more and more products are in their basic nature already virtual or can be virtualized by exploiting information technology information networks. Same applies also to many business processes, such as commerce, marketing, and customer service~\cite{b66}.

This chapter describes content management in the Internet. Section~\ref{sec:demands} gives an overview why content should be managed. Section~\ref{sec:switching} studies new technologies that are developed to improve Internet routing technology, such as IP switching, and Tag switching. Section~\ref{sec:modeling} gives an overview of management information modeling technologies, such as markup languages, CIM, and DEN. Finally, section~\ref{sec:examples_of_content_management} gives examples of content management.


\section{Demands of content management}
\label{sec:demands}

In this project we mean content management as determining what kind of data is transmitted in the network, and managing that data according to the needs of content suppliers, information intermediaries and customers. The purpose of the content management is to control the flow of content during the creation and delivery of any service.

Content supplier usually creates and formulates the original content, both physical and virtual part. Information intermediary (service provider) is an organization, which matches the content suppliers to the relevant end customers. It will also have the knowledge of the content preferences, consumption habits of the end customers, and what may be the optimal choice for them~\cite{b66}. Customers then use the content through the Internet and they may also pay for it. It should be noticed that content supplier, information intermediary, and customer usually have different kinds of demands of content management. The needs for content management are, for example:
\begin{itemize}

\item Security, proprietary rights and licenses

Security and copyright issues must be guaranteed at the satisfactory level. For example, electronic commerce and communications applications require the security features the most. There is also a demand of content protection, to provide content owner a mechanism that can robustly protect copyright and identify rightful ownership in the court of law and to prevent illegal distribution and easy tracking of fraud. Techniques used to content protection are for example, cryptography, authentication, watermarking, and access control in different services. Users should also be able to check the originality of the content of a digital product. Content verification can be performed by attaching digital signatures to transmitted data~\cite{b65}.

In the broader sense content could mean also communications content, such as desktop videoconference, e-mail, discussion forums etc. The difference between the copyright content and the communications content is that communications content is produced and consumed at the same time, and it is not stored for the further commercial use~\cite{b66}.

\item Billing

Internet services that provide QoS (e.g. TV and radio over IP) cannot cover costs using billing models available today~\cite{b47}. In the Internet environment the billing has been based on flat rates and monthly billing and only seldom on the traffic itself. Full deployment of services with built-in cost sharing functionality could be the final reason to converge for example, broadcast media into the Internet and make them globally available.

\item Location and delivery

Today the information contained on the Internet is unstructured, unsorted, and difficult to find. For example, current search engines are limited to textual keywords. There is the desire for Internet multimedia search engines capable of searching and locating the relevant sources containing the desired media types given a description of the specific content. This will be beyond the bounds of text currently used to formulate queries. Such capabilities could be achieved with pre-defined, hierarchical categories and natural language use~\cite{b50}.

The content must be managed throughout its entire lifetime, from initial conception and creation, to integration in an application, and delivery to the user, as well as eventual archival or destruction. Information service providers also have multiple distribution options using a wide variety of client and network technologies. The key to commercial success is managing information in such a way that it can be easily located and distributed in a format that matches the requirements of the requesting client~\cite{b63}. The issues of secure access, and secure content and payment transaction are also essential to the distribution of content.

\item Different customer needs

Different customer needs must be provided by traffic prioritization and traffic guarantees. For example, policy-based networking enables the allocation of network resources to applications, users, and groups based on a set of defined rules. This approach provides the control over traffic prioritization based on the business importance of applications.
\end{itemize}


\section{Switching technologies}
\label{sec:switching}

The increase in real-time and multimedia applications have created the need to improve Internet routing technology in terms of bandwidth, performance, scalability, and delivery of new functionalities. Technologies used to develop new systems are combinations of switching and routing technologies. Routing provides robustness (scalability and flexibility) and switching provides performance (high throughput). Noticeable technologies are Ipsilon's IP Switching, Cisco's Tag Switching, IBM's ARIS (Aggregate Route-based IP Switching), Toshiba's CSR (Cell Switching Router), and MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching).

This section gives a brief summary of flow differentiation, IP switching, and Tag switching. MPLS is studied in subsection~\ref{subsec:mpls}.


\subsection{Flow differentiation}

A flow is defined as a sequence of packets sent from a particular host to a particular destination. These packets are related in terms of their routing and any local handling policy they may require.

Traffic differentiation is typically based on information in the packet headers of different layers in the IP protocol stack, e.g. protocol type, source/destination port, source/destination address or explicit flow tags. Two packets belong to the same flow if the values of header fields are identical. The higher up the information origins, the higher the semantic content, and thus the more precise differentiation. For example, using the content-type field of HTTP 1.1, packets can be easily identified as being part of a data, voice or video stream. On the downside, header parsing leads to performance drawbacks noticeable as increased induced traffic latency, which is only acceptable up to a certain degree for applications with real-time requirements~\cite{b60}.


\subsection{IP Switching}

IP switching is basically an IP over ATM technology. The IP switches use the hardware of ATM switches for the copying mechanism and the IP software for the routing. The IP switches allow packet flows to be switched and bypass the router, when the routing information has been cached in the switch. IP switching is made up of two protocols GSMP (General Switch Management Protocol) and IFMP (Ipsilon Flow Management Protocol). GSMP is defined in~\cite{rfc2297} and IFMP in~\cite{rfc1953}.

When a packet is assembled and submitted to controller in an IP switch it classifies a flow. Ipsilon has defined currently two types of flows. \textbf{A host pair flow type} is defined for traffic between same source and destination IP address. There is a local policy in each IP switch from which it makes its own QoS decisions. QoS information can be included in the flow classification decision based upon the application, the type of service field in the IP header, the protocol etc. The Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) can give each individual QoS requests for each flow, since the IP switch supports RSVP. \textbf{A port pair flow type} is defined for traffic between same source and destination port between same source and destination IP address. It allows differentiating QoS along the flows between the same pair of hosts. Simple flow-based firewall security features can also be supported.

Depending on the classification, the switch decides to forward or switch the next packets of that flow. Usually the controller would decide to forward short term flows like database queries, DNS messages and switch long term flows like ftp or telnet data. Flow classification takes care of classifying only long duration traffic because IP switching performs its best for such traffic. Other traffic is forwarded packet by packet~\cite{b61}.


\subsection{Tag Switching}

Tag switching technology forwards packets based on tags. The tag is a short, fixed length identifier that is assigned to packets belonging to a certain stream. Each packet gets a tag with an index pointer, which has information about the best route for the data stream. The pointer is used with the routing table to find the exact route. The packets will be forwarded by the switch to the next switch where the same procedure will be repeated. The tag switch forwards the packet based on the tag and does not look at the network layer header.

A Tag switching network consists of tag edge routers, tag switches, and tag distribution protocol. Tag edge routers are located at the edge of the network. Tag switches switch tagged packets based on the tags. Tag distribution protocol or extensions to existing routing protocols operate so that the tag information may be distributed in the network.

Tag switching is positioned to support multiple protocols, and to facilitate explicit routing and service differentiation. A tag could be bound to an individual application flow, a single route, group of routes or multicast tree~\cite{rfc2105}.


\section{Management information modeling technologies}
\label{sec:modeling}

This section gives a brief summary of markup languages and object-oriented models (CIM and DEN) developed to model management information.


\subsection{Markup languages}

Markup languages (such as SGML - Standardized Generalized Markup Language, HTML - HyperText Markup Language, and XML - eXtensible Markup Language) are designed to add structure and convey information about documents and data. In markup languages, the main mechanism for supplying structural and semantic information is by adding to the document elements comprising a start tag, optionally some content, and an end tag.

SGML does not enforce any particular set of element types. SGML provides a means by which new element types can be defined. Because of this, SGML is thought of as a language for defining markup languages. XML is similar in concept to HTML. Whereas HTML is used to convey graphical information about a document, XML is used to represent structured data in a document. HTML is an SGML application targeted at display markup for documents, XML is a subset of SGML targeted at data representation. It is possible therefore to imagine the Web as consisting of HTML for display purposes, and XML for data representation and description purposes~\cite{b62}.


\subsection{Object-oriented models}

Distributed Management Task Force Inc (DMTF) has developed the \textbf{Common Information Model (CIM)}. CIM is used to model management information from desktop and server systems. It is also used to describe management information between different management applications, such as HP Open View, Microsoft SMS, and Tivoli Management Software, in order to provide common understanding of management information.

CIM is an object-oriented conceptual model. It provides a framework, including representation of products, systems, applications, and components that can be managed. It unifies the information coming from many numbers of sources. CIM is not bounded to any particular implementation. It can be implemented as a relational database, as an object database, or as an object/relational database. This allows for the interchange of management information between management systems and applications.

At the present time, there are not any CIM based implementations available. No programming interfaces or protocols are defined by the CIM document, and hence it does not provide an exchange mechanism. CIM does not define a common set of APIs (application program interface) that software developers can use to make Web management applications work together. Nor does it specify how the database of gathered information should be structured. CIM makes also no mention of the communications protocol that should be used for moving all that information around. So it is difficult for vendors to develop software that can integrate data gathered by third-party applications~\cite{b59}.

Version 1.0 of the DMTF's CIM XML encoding specification was announced in 1998. Allowing CIM information to be represented in the form of XML, brings the benefits of XML and its related technologies to management information modeled using the CIM Meta model~\cite{b58}.

The \textbf{Directory Enabled Network (DEN)} specification provides a schema and informational model for representing network elements and services in a directory. The primary purpose of DEN is to separate the specification and representation of network elements, and services from implementation details.

In a directory enabled network user profiles, applications, and network services are integrated through a common information model that stores network state and exposes network information. This information enables bandwidth utilization to be optimized, it enables policy-based management, and it provides a single point of administration of all network resources.

The philosophy of network management is shown in figure~\ref{fig:directory}. Network management protocols (SNMP, CMIP, RMON) are used to talk to the network elements. The network schema extensions for the directory service are used to talk about network elements.

\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{center}
\epsfxsize.8\textwidth
\epsfbox{kuvat/directory}
\caption{Directory service and network management~\cite{b11}}
\label{fig:directory}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

The integration of the network infrastructure with the directory service allows the applications and users to discover the existence of devices and relationships by querying the directory service. This is more scalable and manageable than contacting the individual devices and aggregating the results. Exposing network elements in the directory enhances their manageability and usability while reducing the load on the network. The end user and administrator experience is enhanced because there is a single authoritative place to obtain the information of interest. One example of how the networkwide data might be used is to set up and tear down a certain level of QoS at a given time for a specified user across many network resources.


\section{Examples of content management}
\label{sec:examples_of_content_management}

In the relation of information provider and end-user the core benefit of content management can be described: "information is managed so the right people receive the right information at the right time"~\cite{d1}. With today's information glut, the value of information increases, when the content is managed in such a way to apply the stored information to the right people in an efficient way. The benefit can be ensured in many ways. The next examples will describe some of these different ways and they also reflect how widely content management is understood by different people. First, this section will deal with the examples where the end-user is the right person, and secondly the benefits of the content management for the information provider.


\subsection{Multimedia content management}
\label{subsec:multimedia_content_management}

The purpose of a multimedia content management system is to control the flow of content during the creation and delivery of any multimedia service offering. The content must be managed throughout its entire lifetime, from initial conception and creation, to integration in an application, and delivery to the user, as well as eventual archival or destruction. This entails managing content across a number of different organizations and over an extended time period. Practical experience of the benefits of providing extensive content management systems has come for example in the areas of interactive television, web services, multimedia kiosks and video streaming to the corporate desktop~\cite{b63}.


\subsection{Content management and the end-user}
\label{subsec:content_management_and_the_end-user}

End-users will not continue to use a service, let alone pay for it, just because it has the best technology. They are usually more concerned with the content of the service~\cite{b63}.
\begin{itemize}

\item Content personalization service

A multimedia service can be significantly enhanced if it is able to pre-emt the need of each user, automatically supplying the information the user wants without prompting, tailored to the user's current environment. This kind of service can be called personalization service. Personalization and adaptation of information systems to personal needs and personal interests become more and more important. The trend to offer a user the most suitable and narrowed down multimedia information can be seen in research prototypes from different research areas, e.g. an adaptive tutorial agent, adaptive textbooks on the WWW, personalized newspaper, personalized news delivery etc.~\cite{d3}.

The different requirements of each user create a problem for authors and distributors of information. Typically, the author must either limit the types of user and client technology that can access the information, or else create significantly different versions of the information, each targeted to a particular user group. For instance the authors of a simple Web page need to remember that the page should be viewable by a wide variety of clients, including web-tv, personal organizers and advanced mobile phones. The wireless application protocol (WAP) provides a service for wireless mobile terminals by automatically adjusting Web pages for presentation~\cite{b63}. Also the end-user has the possibility the view the same content via different delivery channels. For instance it is possible to view a film via terrestrial analogue, satellite analogue, cable analogue and pre-recorded VCR tapes and DVD, soon via digital terrestrial, digital satellite and digital cable. This range of distribution channels can actually confuse the viewer (the user of the content). Therefore one objective is simplifying the situation for the user. The integration of uses of new digital delivery methods together - for instance the center of all digital boxes could be the same in the future - with a degree of specialization and cross-referencing would be beneficial~\cite{b51}.

\item Content validation service 

Content validation service is the task of ensuring that the media content of the service is correct. Content validation can be broken into four task categories. Syntactic validation is the process of ensuring that the media content is technically correct without reference to its actual value. Syntactic validation will ensure that the media is in the correct format and playable by the system expected to receive it. Semantic validation is the process of determining if the content matter is correct in its current use context and whether it can safely be passed to the next stage of the media production process. Semantic validation is the core of any useful validation system. Once a piece of content has been validated, the details of the validation check and its result should be added to the metadata information associated with the content. The information can then be used by future validation services to increase the speed and accuracy of the service. Finally, in order for a validation service to be effective, the information on which a validation result is based must be completely trustworthy. Therefore, it is vital that automatic services for the encryption and digital signing of all content packages is provided as part of any validation service. The inclusion of digital watermarking can also be included under this task~\cite{b63}.

Personalization and adaptation of information systems to personal needs and personal interests become more and more important. The trend to offer a user the most suitable and narrowed down multimedia information can be seen in research prototypes from different research areas, e.g. an adaptive tutorial agent, adaptive textbooks on the WWW, personalized newspaper, personalized news delivery etc.~\cite{d3}.

\item Filtering programs

Filtering programs are part of the semantic validation process. There are a lot of inconvenient content in the web for the audience. What is inconvenient depends on the end-user, are they children surfing in the web or company's employees working at the business hours. There are two types of filtering software - client based software filtering and server based software filtering.

The client filtering software programs are individual programs, at the moment in the market there are programs that go by names like Surf Watch, Cyber Patrol, Net Nanny and Cyber Sitter. These are mainly meant to filter the unsuitable content to young audience. In general, these software come with a pre-determined list of inappropriate sites with the option to subscribe to the list of updated site. Some of these programs also have controls that can be set to be tighter or looser at filtering based on certain words and/or phrases. However, without updating and continued monitoring, this type of software becomes less effective over time as additional inappropriate sites are placed online. The software works by blocking the unsuitable content from the user~\cite{d5}.

There are not so many server based filtering software solutions available. One of the more popular server filtering program is I-Gear by URLabs. The server approach involves a main computer, usually designated for Internet only applications. The server is the main gateway between the local network and the Internet. As the gateway, the server is able to function as a web host, an e-mail host and a filtering interface to all of the computers on the local network. By having a server controlling all Internet features of a connection, there are many more options available for management of the content available on the Internet. Server software has the capability to control what computers on the network can access from the Internet and at what times, as well as the ability to cache Web pages requested. Server filtering software has the capability to regulate access by requiring the user to have a log-in account. An example of how I-Gear works: when a Web page from the Internet is requested, the List Agent compares the URL with a list stored in the I-Gear subject categories, then the URL is either denied or allowed. Next, the DDR (Dynamic Document Review) Agent reviews each page of web traffic looking for unconditionally vulgar words and replaces them with "----". The Local DDR Agent also reviews the documents for any words that have been added to the category list based on local community standards or determined inappropriate for the setting. Finally, the Post Agent views words posted to the Internet and searches for items that have been rated unconditionally vulgar. Based on the criteria set, the agent either allows the requested Web page to be displayed in the browser or the user views a message indicating the reason that the requested page will not be displayed~\cite{d5}. This kind of software works well for the protection of children at homes and at schools. URLabs I-Gear for FireWall-1 is a content management solution for organizations concerned about providing Internet access for their employees. It enables organizations to ensure that the Internet usage is focused on business during core hours and permits the option of open, unmonitored access after hours~\cite{d6}.

\item Potential application value of the Internet

The Internet population is already big and growing fast. The question is how can the potential value of the Internet be well employed? What is the potential value of e-distribution? First of all, techniques that facilitate easy and quick browsing, retrieval, manipulation and secure access, transaction and purchasing of multimedia content through Internet are needed~\cite{d7}.

To illustrate the potential capability and advantages of on-line information representation, retrieval, browsing, transaction and purchasing we will represent a scenario of a music purchasing with "EMusicOnline" and a video renting with "EVideoOnline". Instead of going to the store, music can be purchased by logging into EmusicOnline. It is possible to search for new songs and listen to a sample of each song before the decision of buying it. It is also possible to buy just certain songs instead of an entire CD. No one has to worry about the songs being sold out. The distribution takes place by downloading the file. With EvideoOnline the renting starts by logging into EVideoOnline and specifying the preferred movies. As search results the service presents a list of movie titles alone with a short description. It is possible to see the story board, a list of key frames and a short presentation video on the chosen video. Renting is charged with credit card, the rent-per-view fee. Distribution takes place again by downloading the file. For these kind of services, there are still technical challenges to be solved~\cite{d7}.
\end{itemize}


\subsection{The benefits of content management to the content provider}
\label{subsec:the_benefits_of_content_management_to_the_content_provider}

Managing the content creates lower costs in production and in distribution of the content. It also enables the use of new channels of distribution like the Internet, laser disc, DVD and VoD. Accessing the content is also easier. Content management also enables better protection of content by automatically managing intellectual property rights. Personalizing the content for target audiences and individual end-user gives the possibility for the company to gain greater profits. As the company has better control over the information provided, they also have better control over the company image on the global market~\cite{d8,d9}.

Content providers have also realized that they can generate significant profits by reusing, re-expressing, or re-purposing old content. For example, newspapers can be published also in the Internet and TV and motion pictures can be published in a digital TV with digital special effects added. For this reason, media and entertainment companies are seeing that effective management of their old and new content will allow them to maximize their profits~\cite{d10}.
\begin{itemize}

\item{Web Site administration}

While creating HTML pages is getting more and more simple, the administration of a web site is still a time consuming and a demanding task. Available tools for web content management only cover some of the relevant aspects of the whole task - an integrated, fully functional solution is still missing. Web administrators still have to cope with many problems, such as ensuring validity of documents for instance management of document availability and expiration, or avoiding invalid links. Other current problems concern the maintenance of document validity - as soon as the document gets outdated, it should be removed in order to avoid waste of resources and to guarantee topicality. Besides a topic index many Web sites maintain a search engine helping to find local documents. Nevertheless, documents of interest may not be found because index data is gathered and updated only periodically and documents can exclusively be reached via hyperlinks. Keeping index data topical is a general problem to be solved. On corporate Web sites, a homogeneous page layout is wanted to establish corporate identity. Therefore, templates or style files have been used to create new documents. Nevertheless, due to the multiplicity of information providers and daily changing Web site content, it is rather difficult to observe compliance with internal style guides. It is obvious that Web site administration is a very demanding task~\cite{d11}. The present content management systems available can though ensure that the site can handle the explosive growth  of information, it also allows people to make simple changes without being concerned that a major modification could negatively affect the whole site accidentally~\cite{d12}. For example iWebDB - Web Site Administration based on Object-Relational Database Technology - is an integrated database for Web content management, designed to meet the requirements of Web site administrators~\cite{d11}.

Companies also feel the need to personalize their Web sites. When asked what are the biggest obstacles they face with Web site personalization, according to a survey~\cite{d13} almost a half of the companies felt that understanding what content to deliver was the biggest obstacle. Between 10 to 20 percent of the companies felt that not enough resources, getting the technology to work, analyzing the data, keeping content fresh or internal organizational challenge was the biggest problem. Also making personalization easy for users, integrating legacy systems and showing personalizations's value to users caused some problems~\cite{d13}.

\item{Case: Content Management in a studio}

Managing content in a studio involves a number of critical issues including copyright protection and content re-purposing. The system must be scalable, provide high availability, insure the un-compromised integrity of content, limit access to only authorized users and enable the quick retrieval of archived material~\cite{d14}.

\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{center}
\epsfxsize.8\textwidth
\epsfbox{kuvat/ibm}
\caption{Content management in a studio~\cite{d14}}
\label{fig:ibm}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

The architecture of such a content management system is illustrated in the figure above. The heart of the system is a Library server (or Content Manager), which maintains the directories and metadata for the content stored on the Media Servers. The media servers store and stream the content to clients in a real-time fashion. In addition they are responsible for storing and maintaining the time-invariant metadata of their own content. This includes playout information such as shot and frame indexing. An Annotation Station is provided for logging (ingesting) new content into the system. As new content is ingested, the Annotation Station will create metadata that can later be used to perform searches on the content. It stores the metadata on the Library Server and, simultaneously, the content itself is stored on one of the Media Servers. Once ingested, the Browse Station is able to search, browse and retrieve content stored anywhere in the studio. This content includes video, audio, text, data, graphics, animation, and images~\cite{d14}.

The Library Server is the single centralized store of metadata for all content in the studio. Although it is a single logical entity, it can be instantiated as a cluster of machines to achieve high availability and support large amounts of content. Alternatively, in smaller studios, the library server, media servers and even the SRM (Scalable Reliable Multicast) can be implemented on a single machine. The metadata in the library server includes time-invariant and time-variant metadata, among which are shot length and visual motion. Content in the studio will be identified by a single key which will be unique within the studio and, in some cases, industry-wide (such as an extended-ISCI or a SMPTE 298M Universal Media Identifier)~\cite{d14}.

The Annotation Station permits manual annotation and performs automatic annotation for incoming content. As video is ingested, it will perform an automatic annotation that includes shot-boundary detection, face detection, and keyframes selection. The logger may also manually enter bibliographic data, a description of the program, and other metadata. This may include copyright and access information for each clip~\cite{d14}.
