Search & Discovery Trends
• The Discovery Paradox • Professionally selected, edited, produced content
generally not findable online• Leads users to “good enough” free alternatives
(Wikipedia)
• SEO • Constant expense, black art• Arms race with diminishing returns• Limited impact anyway
![Page 11: Key Trends in Cross Media Publishing Steve Paxhia Director- Publishing Practice The Gilbane Group Bill Rosenblatt Senior Analyst The Gilbane Group](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dd95503460f94acece9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Search & Discovery: Rights
• Key obstacle in solving Discovery Paradox• Not the same thing as “DRM”
• Hugely complex problem• Solutions can be expensive, disruptive• Many publishers still in denial
• Solutions• Technical (ACAP, text fingerprinting)• Ad hoc licensing• Litigation
![Page 12: Key Trends in Cross Media Publishing Steve Paxhia Director- Publishing Practice The Gilbane Group Bill Rosenblatt Senior Analyst The Gilbane Group](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dd95503460f94acece9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
http://gilbane.com
Search & DiscoveryPredictions
• Text fingerprinting will drive licensing deals• Web crawling, recognition of publishers’ content
on websites
• Standards face long road ahead• Little incentive for search engines to play• Incentives will come from search startups that
want to index premium content
• Rights Information Management will grow and help• Publishers build rights information databases• Use to inform automated licensing arrangements

E-BooksLessons from Music Industry
• Fragmented device market• Amazon Kindle could become iPod of publishing,
but…• Fragmentation impedes growth
• Device makers try for lock-in• Proprietary DRM exacerbates this• Economic incentives need to be aligned
• Customers want to share• Needs to be much easier • Cannot be done without device maker cooperation

Cross-Media Infrastructure
• CMI 1.0• Install centralized content management
system• (that’s it… hope it works… usually fails)
• CMI 2.0• Federated technology infrastructure• 80/20 rule on enterprise-level
functionality• Investment in process, organization, and
skill changes• Content creation treated independently
from output format (not just XML…)
![Page 15: Key Trends in Cross Media Publishing Steve Paxhia Director- Publishing Practice The Gilbane Group Bill Rosenblatt Senior Analyst The Gilbane Group](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dd95503460f94acece9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
http://gilbane.com
CMI Example:
• Before:• Consumer Reports magazine editorial staff• Ad hoc repurposing for books, website• Very limited product set
• Media Neutral initiative• Reorganization of editorial by subject matter• Publication groups become “customers” of
editorial groups• Cross-media content development the norm, not
the exception• Technology mostly unchanged
• After:• New product development much easier• A thousand online flowers bloom
• Next up: technology, now that processes and organization are in place!

Cross-Media InfrastructurePredictions
• Growing awareness of product planning• Product/feature plans drive requirements• No more “build it and they will come”
• Editorial will lead the way• Processes, organization, skills first• Technology close second
• Metadata problem taken more seriously• “MLS” skill set• Taxonomies• Tools and processes
![Page 17: Key Trends in Cross Media Publishing Steve Paxhia Director- Publishing Practice The Gilbane Group Bill Rosenblatt Senior Analyst The Gilbane Group](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dd95503460f94acece9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Prediction
• Publishers will soon seek to be involved in the reader’s complete information cycle• Browse• Search in context• Link to related data• Present new information based on algorithms
that analyze past information consumption• Use Geography data to present more pertinent
info
