Open Charm Production at Hera

New trends in HERA Physics on open charm production will be presented. Aspects sensitive to various stages of the production mechanism, specially the charm contribution to the structure of the photon and its fragmentation will be discussed. The first experimental evidence of charm content of the photon will be detailed. Based on the measurements and the comparison with leading-order parton shower Monte Carlo models and next-to-leading order QCD predictions, conclusions related to data alone as well as model initiated issues are drawn.
