Description
Whether we’re talking about design, content, search, or engineering, we all need an information model that captures what the user needs and cares about. But we don’t all need the same parts, or even start in the same place. I’ll look at information modeling approaches I’ve encountered across programming, design, content architecture, and SEO teams, and the priorities they serve. Then I’ll share how we can integrate these approaches to align cross-discipline work, reduce conflicts, and ensure a consistent end-to-end customer experience. An integrated information model ensures that our user experience, search experience, and content architecture stays aligned as our users needs and business problems change and evolve.
