Repurposing digital audiovisual resources for user communities possessing different cultural and linguistic profiles

A digital data is only a potential cognitive resource. It has to "undergo" more or less significant qualitative transformations in order to become a user or community relevant one. These qualitative transformations are performed through series of operations such as the constitution and classification of relevant corpora of digital records, the segmentation and classification of digital records, the content description and indexing or records, the versioning (commenting, enriching, translating, ...) of given source records or again the (re-)publishing of digital records. In this report we discuss these qualitative transformations of digital data into cognitive resources sui generis as a re-authoring or repurposing activity in considering as one of the central activities in the field of digital knowledge production and delivery. This report has been realised in the framework of the EC founded R&D project LOGOS -Knowledge on-demand for ubiquitous learning solutions" (6th FP; 2006 - 2009)
