24 Minutes | Web Environment Unification | David Lacy | Tightly connected with Discovery through the connection between search, browse and recommendation How do our patrons explore our assets and resources available? Goal: Standardize the user experience across all of our systems Patron's will know where they are, where they came from and how they can get back to the home page or other resources We can centralize our ADA accessibility and our search engine optimization work Consistent way for logging and analytics of web usage
How are we going to unify our document-level content? We have to think about what it is that we are publishing at a data model level.
Goal: Standardize and define what it is that we are publishing Assets that we publish can fit into eight different buckets or top-level classes:
Buildings, Spaces, Collections, Resources, Events, People, Groups, Services There are relationships between all of these things All of our content has relationships based on subject areas - everything can be attributed with some kind of subject heading There are also unique, direct and indirect relationships that we can create between content
In the process, we will build a centralized data repository that is created to scale
We are taking a phased approach Right now, we are working on search, taking all of our content and putting into an index so that it can be searched Next phase: content goes through an enrichment phase where we add additional information and relationships to content
There is no one content management system that could solve our issue of experience unification, so we need to build our own
