Content models provide the underlying structure for your content that enables you to effectively create, manage and deliver content. It provides the common structures for content creation that support the authoring lifecycle and ensures that content can be automatically reformatted for multichannel delivery.
This workshop provides the methodologies and best practices for:
- Identifying structureIdentifying reuse
- Design of modular content types
- Design of content components that allow for both consistency of structure and delivery while still allowing for flexibility and creativity where appropriate (e.g., marketing and sales material)
- Content design for multichannel delivery
- Developing a realistic strategy for structured content authoring, content reuse strategy, and content delivery
This methodology focuses on the creation of XML-ready models and addresses the question of whether to adopt existing industry standards or create custom content models.
Participants will view real examples of models and work through the development of a content model.
