UNSW have released a world first solution allowing students, staff and faculty alike to publish media to iTunes, YouTube, and the unswtv video portal. Join us for an IA war story about how we rationalized these disparate publishing models into a single unified information architecture, allowing users to publish everywhere without having to understand the intricacies of each media destination.

only metadata associated
Add Media with the Media item can be
changed. To change
publish points the Media
needs to be "taken down"
and republished.
