LiveQuellen

LiveQuellen is a term used in media technology to denote live sources of information and media content that feed real-time streams or feeds into downstream systems. The concept covers raw data streams from cameras, sensors, and user-generated broadcasts, as well as live editorial feeds that are continuously updated for publication or analysis.

In journalism, broadcasting, and digital platforms, LiveQuellen enables rapid assembly of news, events, and analytics. It supports workflows in newsrooms, streaming services, and data dashboards by allowing operators to monitor, select, and publish items from multiple live feeds, often with metadata for timing and provenance.

Technical implementations commonly use streaming protocols such as HLS, WebRTC, RTSP, or MQTT. Key considerations include latency, reliability, and scalability, as well as mechanisms for attribution, licensing, and access control. Systems may employ filtering, routing rules, and real-time metadata to manage diverse sources.

Ethical and legal aspects include copyright, privacy, and consent for sourced content. Operators must manage attribution, licensing, and consent, and implement safeguards against misinformation and misuse. Standards and best practices for data quality, provenance, and security help maintain trust in workflows that depend on multiple live sources.
