Content inventory
Identify the material that exists, who maintains it, and where it appears. Group recurring patterns without assuming that every item needs the same treatment.
Content models
Content becomes easier to maintain when its structure is deliberate. This capability concerns the types, fields, relationships, and editorial rules that give a digital collection its shape.
01 / SCOPE
Give a growing collection a dependable shape.
Types & relationships
Describe reusable content types and how they refer to one another. Distinguish the meaning of an item from the particular page that presents it.
Editorial rules
Specify which fields are needed, how labels are written, and what an editor should do when an item is incomplete or no longer current.
02 / WORKING MATERIAL
What can be
made reviewable.
- An annotated inventory
- A field and relationship model
- Example content entries
- Editorial naming and ownership notes
The final set of deliverables depends on the agreed brief, available content, and implementation responsibilities.
03 / ILLUSTRATIVE BRIEF
A collection with more than one way in.
Consider a public collection of talks, speakers, and topics. A talk may appear on an event page, a topic list, and a speaker profile. A shared content model lets those views refer to the same item instead of maintaining three separate descriptions.
The useful design decision is not the choice of a content management product. It is the agreement about which facts belong to a talk, which belong to a speaker, and how the two are connected. A field-level example helps an editor see the difference.
Illustration only. No customer engagement or performance result is implied.04 / REVIEW QUESTIONS
What should the
material answer?
- Can one item appear in several views without being duplicated?
- Can an editor distinguish a required field from an optional one?
- Is there a named owner for a correction?
SCOPE BOUNDARY
A content model describes an intended structure. Migration, integration, hosting, and editorial staffing need their own scope. Sample entries are illustrations rather than a live collection.
