Authoring
Authoring is the activity of creating or assembling new content. This includes both constructing wholly new content and referencing existing content. It is different from ingest in that is characterized by incremental assembly of the content which many rapid write/read cycles to accomplish what the user considers a single operation. It is often performed as part of some sort of authoring workflow commonly with multiple actors performing both overlapping and different roles. During this phase the content (and metadata) is rapidly changing. The time between operations in a workflow can vary considerably so Authoring needs to handle the shortest period between user operations.
