This document discusses content choreography, which involves planning, organizing, and publishing dynamic content and assets using taxonomy and metadata. It provides an overview of capabilities for content lifecycle management, such as approving content, assessing needs, scheduling, designing workflows, creating and tagging content, and publishing. It also discusses frameworks for taxonomy development, including domain modeling, defining facets and relationships, and guidelines for ongoing governance. The goal is to effectively manage content through its entire lifecycle using these methodologies and best practices.

25. Eight key capabilities are required to effectively manage content management lifecycle processes. Content management involves the mechanisms, processes and roles to support requesting, creating, tagging, reviewing, testing, approving, publishing and appraising content. Content Lifecycle Management Capabilities Temporary “Migration Harness” Processes Approve & Prioritize The ability to formulate detailed requests for servicing content, including the identification of effective dates, subject matter experts, priority. Assess Needs The ability to identify needs for a project and determine which workforces need to be engaged (e.g. web, learning, marketing) Schedule & Plan The ability to plan the knowledge project (e.g., finalizing scope, scheduling, resources, timing and production requirements) Design The ability to recommend the right approach, given business need, resources, deadlines, or impact to content architecture, or code changes, etc. Create & Tag The ability to create knowledge objects, choose the right format for presentation and assign the relevant metadata. Appraise The ability to appraise results by various means including surveys, feedback, audits, and measuring business results. Publish & Deliver The ability to deliver knowledge to the target audiences by means of publication. Copy Editing The ability to review and test content in order to ensure content quality and consistency Performed within CMS Performed outside CMS Content Authoring Workflow | Content Strategy Deliverables

62. Validation & Usability | Testing Definitions Taxonomy Validation Verification with stakeholders and subject matter experts for completeness and correctness Verification with other internal stakeholders for suitability for their business and technical requirements user ability to understand category labels, intentions, and relationships suitability for tagging/categorizing Taxonomy Test Plan Design Plan, use cases and test cases for testing of the taxonomy and it’s usability –assumes a baseline test, Alpha and Beta test iterations Usability Test Execution Evaluates the usability of the taxonomy in the context of its website implementation and/or in prototype form Results are affected by navigation, search and visual design influences test
63. Taxonomy Testing |Taxonomy Deliverables No distracting product images Focus is solely on the terms User has to decide whether they are confident they have “found” the item solely on navigation
76. Since content, terms, categories and processes change over time, long term governance and change control processes and policies are part of sustainable, flexible information architecture RACI Chart Approval Workflow Governance & Change Management
80. Suggestions for Ongoing Maintenance SLA’s for taxonomy maintenance can be defined for the period Participation in test category deployment in a proactive fashion Participation in governance in a proactive fashion Search log data vs. taxonomy synonyms and SEO results to measure ongoing effectiveness of the taxonomy (opportunity to mature to dashboard metrics over time) We’ll keep an eye on whether/when it’s time to introduce a formal taxonomy tool as well, making such recommendations along the way support
