You'd never have known. He came at the topic from the opposite direction than Liz would have, but ended up at the same end point: content needs to exist within a framework that allows the content to be leveraged for the benefit of an organization. I tried to take notes but Joe went fast, and crammed in so many concepts that it was impossible to do anything but listen and drink in the presentation. Obviously a knowledgeable, big-picture thinker, Gollner brings a complex, potentially dry-as-toast topic to life.

Joe Gollner launched the conference by grounding us in the terminology of content management (CM): "content is the physical form of human communication; content persists and can be shared over time and space" before taking us through a sweeping retrospective of the field. Joe made it clear how the evolution from the complex (SGML) to the simple (HTML/XML) has set the stage for massive adoption of XML-enabled CM tools.

His wide experience in helping organizations communicate better was clearly apparent. His personal knowledge of many of the architects of standards that we now take for granted gave his talk an air of authority and made intimidating concepts and acronyms seem more humane. I appreciated getting four decades of the history of content convergence squeezed into one hour. I felt like I had read a 200 page book by the end of the session. Given Joe's long history in the field, I'm curious to see whether the trends that he has identified will evolve and bear fruit as he currently foresees them...
