Purpose: The purpose of this research is to study the status of digital content management in the IHCS, from preparation and production, organization to dissemination of content.
Methodology: The main nature of the present research is applied and the method of conducting this research is a case study. In order to investigate the situation of IHCS in the field of digital content management with a case perspective, a descriptive survey was conducted. The research community in this work is the IHCS and all its departments, activities, systems and programs that work in the direction of preparation, production and development, organization and dissemination of digital content. Tables have been used to describe and analyze the data collected from the checklist.
Findings: Various types of digital content are prepared and produced in different departments of the IHCS. The priority is to choose digital content in the research institute with books, documents and publications. Among the various departments of the IHCS, the library is the only one that organizes its digital content in a standard format. The digital content prepared, produced or developed in the IHCS are disseminated through various tools and methods, especially through websites, social networks and library services.
Conclusion: In general, the movement towards the preparation and production of content in digital form is visible in the IHCS, and efforts are being made to organize and disseminate all types of digital content in the form of various systems.

The term “virtual” has been associated with real-world businesses and entities in recent years. Until a few years ago, the notion of “virtual” encompassed spaces such as websites, information networks, digital libraries, etc. But today, most of the citizens' time is spent in completely virtual spaces. Stores, businesses, monetary and financial activities, leisure and entertainment, etc. are all being transferred to cyberspace. The rapid pace of joining cyberspace has created a state of disharmony and exhaustion among businesses, especially large organizations. Many of them have embarked on digital transformation and implemented some programs, however, this process does not seem to be sufficiently tailored to meet the requirements, and organizations are to see “virtual transformation” as a complementary action and umbrella plan to cover sparse actions on their agenda. In this article, the concept of virtual transformation and its requirements and phases are briefly explained. Attempts have been made to look into the virtual transformation from different dimensions and to identify and introduce its key actors as well. The six steps presented in this article are deemed to provide useful insights for managers on their virtual transformation journey. The content of the article also can be seen as a starting point for extensive studies on the concept of virtual transformation.

Advances in information and communication technology (ICT) have accelerated the transformation process of entities from physical to more conceptual formalities. Entering the world of concepts, on the one hand, has transformed the relations between beings, and on the other hand, has facilitated the grounds for fundamental changes in human communication. A twenty-first-century person is a semantic human being who, along with all physical conceptions of the phenomena in his life, has also a virtual and semantic conception in his mind. The semantic embodiment of all phenomena has caused emotions, feelings, interactions, businesses, etc. to become multifaceted phenomena. E-learning, e-commerce, virtual meetings, virtual stores, etc. all represent the emergence of another sphere within the physical world. This world is the world of meanings and concepts. The world of meanings is closely related to content. A human being on the earth without an electronic identity and without the presence in electronic spaces is gradually becoming unthinkable. The advent of cyberspace has more to do with the concept of digitalization. No entity can enter cyberspace without digitization. The first condition for being in cyberspace is to have a virtual alternative. If any books, magazines, persons, schools, universities, governments, associations, and any other entities, is to appear in the virtual world, they must first be digitized. For this reason, digitalization and digital content management is a constant issue in the age of knowledge. In this article, which was specifically written on the occasion of the first issue of the International Journal of Digital Content Management (IJDCM), an attempt has been made to elaborate on the evolution of digital content and to provide a framework for content management in the knowledge. The key concepts mentioned in the article are also meant as indicators of the content orientation of the journal.
