information flows (from real-time to
archives)
Automated or manual Metadata extraction

networks

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 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
Queries
Instead of content object, queries
address the metadata
 Profium SIR provides 3 kinds of
queries

– Interactive Queries
– Timed Queries
– Persistent Queries
Interactive Queries
User defines case by case what kind
of content objects he wants
 Example

– Content object authored by a specific
person
Timed Queries
Enables time based push of content
of desired kind to desired device
 Example

– Textual or visual representation of stock
price development in real time reported
every 30 minutes as an SMS message to
a GSM phone
Persistent Queries
Fetches and delivers content to a
desired device when defined kinds of
metadata enter the system
 Example

– Notification of an antivirus software
about new updates to download
System Architecture
Detailed Description

Profium SIR 3.0 is a metadata based platform for
content management
 Content objects and metadata enter the SIR system
through different input mechanisms and are
processed by content handlers according to their
content types and descriptions
 Input can be Content Object(of any format)
only,Metadata or Content Object + Metadata
Input Mechanism

Input mechanisms are HTTP(posting and
query),ICE(Information Content Exchange
Protocol),Watched Folder(Data from the
directory are polled and passed on to input
for processing) and Java APIs
Content Handler

Content handler is available for RDF,XML
file,Adobe XMP(Acrobat 5.0,InDesign
2.0,Illustrator 10),MP3 Audio,Reuters News,Dow
Jones Newswire,STT(Finnish News
Agency),Helsinki Stock Exchange(HEX) and
Microsoft Office
Documents(Word,Excel,Powerpoint).
 Customized content handlers can be developed.
Metadata Engines and RDF Metadata
SIR includes Dublin Core and PRISM
Metadata schemas
 Customized metadata schemas can
be developed

Metadata Engines and RDF Metadata
Each content object managed by SIR
is described with a set of metadata.
 Its metadata is transformed and
stored as a unique,environment
independent and internationally
recognized internal metadata
model,The Resource Description
Framework(RDF) a W3C standard

Queries
Real time and batch mode
processing of queries concerning the
content stored in the SIR database
can be conducted based on Metadata
searches
 Queries could be immediate,timed or
triggered

Output
Different metadata and content can
be output in different formats to
various devices(multi-channel) such
as web browsers and e-mail
 With the output API it is possible to
create custom modules to present
content and metadata managed by
SIR to the end user
