Many life science organizations are looking at XML technology to foster collaboration by using reusable ‘chunks’ of information across the organization. XML offers an efficient foundation to enable collaboration by reusable content. But while their is technology to facilitate this; your content, your architecture, your organiazation and your management probably aren’t. Bridging silos of information and developing a clear content strategy are a key aspects of making sure that the right information is always presented. This session will look at micro (human-based) and macro (computer-based) approaches to understanding content reuse to get your system and you boss on-board. Best practices for designing for effective reuse and helping the organization to move towards true collaboration will be provided.
This session will provide the attendee with an overview of micro and macro content analysis and address:
- What is reuse and what are the benefits?
- How to analyze your content for reuse
- Architecting your content for an effective content strategy
- Best Practices for bridging information silos and gaining support
