\ud83d\udca1 What is content modeling? In short:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A content model consists of:\n
      \n
    1. Highly structured content types<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Relationships between content types<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Metadata, taxonomies assignable to content types<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. A content model also includes the way how content is crafted, the assembly model<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Content modeling is the process of creating a content model and I strongly suggest to include a wide range of stakeholders and to do it collaboratively<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      \ud83d\udca1 How does content modeling look like? In short:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Get a representative of each role, project sponsors, undecided into a meeting<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Get everyone’s buy in by looking at how a good model would simplify their day-to-day tasks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Discuss items you agree on, company goals, customer goals<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Agree on core content and list it<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Link content types<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Assign and test if proposed taxonomies and content types would help you to discover content you now struggle to find in your current setup<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      7. Break down bigger content types into smaller ones where needed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
        \n

        \ud83d\udca1 What to include into a content type? In short:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Remove unnecessary content (formatting, layouts, superfluous information)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Check related content pieces to identify repeated content – that\u2019s the most useful content you have, remove the rest<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Slowly re-add supporting content<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Add relationships, links, tags and metadata <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. Think about the users of the content model<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
          \n

          \ud83d\udca1 When to stop breaking down your content types (chunking)? In short:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Use taxonomies to determine if a content type should be chunked (broken down) further<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Create a universally usable content type for reusable chunks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Combine content types if the mostly share the same metadata\/taxonomies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Simplify content creation for editors<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
            \n

            \ud83d\udca1 How to make your reusable content discoverable? In short:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Difficult to search and discover content causes content friction<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Supporting taxonomies and metadata should add to the content itself, not duplicate it so you expand the terms under which it can be discovered<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Start collecting terms now by noting down instances, when you struggle finding content. Note disown terms, which you used to search for it. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. Group collected terms into logical taxonomy groups<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

              \ud83d\udca1 How to create a content type for a page? In short:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Don\u2019t model pages, model objects<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Structure your objects sufficiently<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Try to replace pages with topics and view them as one possible presentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              4. Topics (pages) are representing the relationship of the content pieces on them<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                \ud83d\udca1 How to identify your core content for your content model? In short:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Core content is content that is most important to your business<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Core content is content that is most important to your customers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Everything is easier if you know your important taxonomies <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
