Digital content industry

Definition
The Digital Content Industry

"encompasses the production and marketing of film and television programs in the form of digital and interactive TV; online games; re-usable electronic education content; the marketing and supply of the holdings of museums, galleries and libraries in digital form; the Internet-based publishing of music, text, films and games; and the development and marketing of software, games, and online services that create digital media and visual effects, or help to manage and publish them. Mobile delivery and content is becoming increasingly important."

Overview
"The Digital Content Industry spans the applications and services components of the ICT industry on the one side and the traditional film, entertainment and cultural industries on the other, overlapping key areas of both. Important areas of digital content activity also occur within other industries, particularly service industries, such as health, education and architecture. The overlap with the cultural industry, and the importance of this as a rich source of content, means that the Digital Content Industry has an important relationship to Australian culture and Australian content."
