A process is introduced that determines contour requirements from many
factors. Based on the contour requirements, the process either generates
at least one content-derived signature contour from either many content
identifiers or at least one content-derived signature contour, or
generates at least one optimized content-derived signature contour from
contour-related data and either at least one content-derived signature
contour or a derivation from at least one content-derived signature
contour.
