I don't see how the use of "content curation" is any different than
"sanitation engineering". It's a way to add clout to our role as
information management specialists. Maybe we don't write the content, but
we sure know how to dig it up, clean it off, and put it on display.
I'm still going through an interesting thesis called "Document Engineering"
I picked up years ago.
