Introduction

Have you ever experienced a situation when you just can't find
that document on your content management system or a specific
job aid, standard operating procedure or knowledge article in your knowledge repository?

Maybe you're using a system or website, where the navigation and namings do not match what you do or how you perform your job.

Or worse, your organization has different names for the same or similar content and you are not sure you found or are using the correct content.

A proven cure for these common issues is to implement an information architecture that will drive a user centric taxonomy, metadata and associated keywords to enable consistent labeling, organization, categorization and “findability” of your content.

Audience

  • User Interface/Experience Designers
  • Search Analysts, Information Classification Specialists
  • Anyone with a Library Science background, Records Management, and Information Architecture
  • Plus - users of CM tools and Knowledge Management tools (such as eGain, Oracle KM, SharePoint, Tridion) will also benefit from taking this course.
