Conceptual Integration

Version EN | Version 3.0The purpose of the remastering work in progress, with regard to the integration of self-authored and/or third-party contents as announced in my Lifefolio and Playfolio websites, is to draw up an inventory of all shortcomings of the web publication process, in four steps which can be reviewed both independently and successively.
For each of the photo, audio, video and blog formats illustrated in the corresponding pages, those limitations result from the lack of operating system-sustained content processing solutions likely to be used preventively, i.e. ahead of the publication itself.
The four pages of this demonstration correspond to as many stages of the production of a video-enabled tutorial and/or blog-based Playfolio, and are devised so as to allow me to provide an intelligible overview of the most common flaws:
Photo • In terms of securing self-hosted visual contents, the major constraint arises from the necessity to resort to entirely lockable third-party extensions (such as Stacks, Protect, Photo and Filter), in order to enable oneself to provide dynamic and static slideshow galleries.
Audio • When it comes to enhancing a slideshow or a video with a music- or narration-based soundtrack, the lack of a conceptual franchise integration requires to develop a customized solution on a case-by-case basis, considering that most playlist-oriented extensions do not address the issue of which copyright licence to apply to such self-hosted audio contents that were not self-produced in the first place (a problem which concerns visual contents as well, such as images and videos).
Video • Regardless of whether the integration depends on an iFrame-based embed code or on a media player extension, the publication of self-hosted videos suffers the same limitations as are illustrated in the Photo and Audio pages.
Weblog • While a standard blog page such as the present one seemingly brings together all the benefits of an allround solution, which is necessary and sufficient for mostly text-based publications, the quality of the outcome for a multimedia-enabled Playfolio largely depends on the additional options that only an entirely customizable blog-creation extension provides.
Last but not least: since it takes a story to (re)consider all these contents against the background of their original context(s), the self-explaining script framing each page of this Showtime Machine dedicated to retro-prospective empowerment will highlight the technological progress of the last fifty years, from my perspective as a native of the pre-internet era concerned about unburdening her Lifefolio from as many introductory chapters.
