A fundamental question has arisen out of our current effort to create systems for digital media content authoring over the Web: "How do we manage all of this content?" More importantly, how do we manage it efficiently over the Web in a cross-platform manner? A suite of core technologies is being developed that includes a universal secure login architecture, Web-based storage lockers, seamless back-end database connectivity and transfigurability of all digital media types, and an engine for visible common sense to enable a new kind of markup paradigm. Impact areas for this project include handheld devices, Web-hosting services, and digital video/still image management.
