How to Use Content Modeling to Define Your Taxonomy Framework

IAC 2020

Time(s)

April 10, 2020

Description

If you’re fumbling around trying to figure out what taxonomy to use with your content, you’re not alone. You need to ensure that the taxonomy meets your business goals and your technical needs. You may also be required to think about short- and long-term uses. It’s a lot to wrangle.

This presentation will show you how to use content modeling to define the taxonomy for your content and will explain why this is an ideal approach. You’ll learn how a content model can reveal metadata and taxonomy needs and show you a clear path to developing taxonomies and creating lasting structure. The concepts in this session are anchored with a clear example of creating a taxonomy framework from a content model.

Key takeaways from the session:

Three useful takeaways from this session include:

  • Why using a content model to uncover taxonomy needs ensures you develop the appropriate taxonomy.
  • How a content model illustrates metadata, taxonomy, and links between content.
  • How to handle stakeholder concerns about taxonomy with a content model.
