Creation of knowledge portal using latest IT tools and mobile content delivery system: Work in progress

Advances in Information technology have made delivering eContent easier to Subject Experts and to publish on the web with minimal technical skills and assistance. The development of multimedia e-learning content is no more labor intensive process, requiring a team of web designers and developers responsible for the technical development of these resources, thereby limiting its widespread adoption. Tools such as Adobe Captivate, Camtasia, Snap, Articulate, Lectora etc provide an easy way of developing econtents. This exercise has triggered the idea of creating a Knowledge System for an Industry, namely Leather Industry. Digital libraries are large organized collection of digitized objects comprising of texts, images, graphs and in technological term referred as "BIG DATA". Well defined digital library software has the potential to disseminate this information worldwide through internet technologies and the analysis of this BIG DATA is referred as "BIG DATA ANALYTICS". The emergence of worldwide web makes the unprecedented volumes of data freely available to the entire society. This helps in building a knowledge Portal. This is an approach paper to illustrate the content development for a few aspects in Leather Industry taking advantages of tools available and schematic diagram of Knowledge portal for Industry.
