Semantics of "content"

[staticmade]

Should we institutionally be referring to museum-created media and collection objects as something other than content? We should be more specific in describing our subject matter...i.e. artwork, scholarship, multimedia, metadata, design elements, user interfaces, etc.

In your case, i think 'artworks and their stories' might be a good alternative. "Smooshing" it all together into a catch-all term doesn't do any of them justice, and when other industries use the term 'content' it means something interchangeable and of short-term value. I don't think museums want to get caught up in that.

With the most recent push on 4/1/15, we've eliminated using the word 'content' in favor of more meaningful language.
