The Austin-based WCM guys at Vignette sent me a story discussing how NASA manages its information and technology infrastructure. It of course highlights Vignette’s involvement among other things, but more importantly it underscores the dynamic nature of content these days. In NASA’s case, they have multichannel publishing requirements that span everything from NASA TV, to its website, to Second Life.
“A key tool the team uses in-house to keep the content organized is Vignette 7.2 (specifically, Vignette Builder and Vignette Portal). Remember, the mission’s content is feeding to podcasts, NASA TV on the Web, Second Life, and elsewhere. We’re taking the same content and representing it in many different ways and by all means.”-Jeanne Holm, chief knowledge architect for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory
