Chunking Content for Task-centric Mobility Author: Geoff Bock Posted 06/10/2013

Blog post, uses a grocery store mobile app as an analogue for task- centric adaptive content. Also provides a brief narrative about DRUPAL: Drupal is a platform for managing content, organized not around web pages or documents, but rather around ‘content chunks.’ "Content chunks are the elemental bits of information together with the predefined tags (or metadata) that describe what they are about. For example, the recipe at my favorite foodie site is not simply a self-contained web page (replicating the experience of a hard copy cookbook) but rather a set of semantically interrelated content chunks that comprise it. There is the “title,” the “description,” the “ingredients list,” the “cooking instructions,” and the “serving size.” Each chunk has its own metadata; taken together all of them describe a 'recipe'... From an application design perspective, content chunks blend human- and machine-readable information, and make it easily accessible for mashups designed to support one task or another.” - See more at: http://www.acquia.com/blog/chunking-content-task-centric-mobility#sthash.N51oSUwC.dpuf
