The document discusses how to make content nimble by making it well-structured, well-defined, and well-described through the use of metadata standards and vocabularies. It emphasizes separating content from presentation, using semantic tags, and expressing information in a way that machines can understand through frameworks like RDF, SKOS, and Dublin Core. Filling in metadata fields with values from controlled vocabularies gives content important context and helps different systems make use of the content.

A short version of a talk I've given before. This one was for the Semantic Tech & Business Conference in London in September 2011. It focuses on what makes content nimble, and how to combine standards, tools & processes to accomplish it.

For years, we've been telling designers: the web is not print. You can't have pixel-perfect layouts. You can't determine how your site will look in every browser, on every platform, on every device. We taught designers to cede control, think in systems, embrace web standards. So why are we still letting content authors plan for where their content will "live" on a web page? Why do we give in when they demand a WYSIWYG text editor that works "just like Microsoft Word"? Worst of all, why do we waste time and money creating and recreating content instead of planning for content reuse? What worked for the desktop web simply won't work for mobile. As our design and development processes evolve, our content workflow has to keep up. Karen will talk about how we have to adapt to creating more flexible content.

10 Things I Learned in 10 Years as a Content StrategistRachel Lovinger
In the decade since I officially became a Content Strategist, I’ve learned many important principles of working with content. Some of them have influenced the kind of work I do, and some of them have helped me better understand how the field is developing and what directions it needs to grow in for this practice to become more effective with digital content.
In this presentation I’ll summarise my top ten learnings and describe how these principles have been critical to the work I’ve done these past 10 years. I’ll also discuss how people can dig deeper into the principles that they find most useful and relevant to their work.
Content Auditing: Unearthing the Substance of Your BrandRachel Lovinger
I gave this talk at Content Marketing World 2014. It talks about a content strategy practice - content auditing - and how it can benefit content marketing efforts. It includes links to some useful tools and resources.
In 2012, Jason Scott, Rachel Lovinger & a small crew filmed a documentary about the 20th year of DEFCON. Over the course of the next year Jason edited it together, and we premiered it at DEFCON 21. We also did this talk about the making of. You can watch a video of the talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4VsmniMfpQ
Early in 2012, to commemorate the 20th year of the conference, Jason Scott was asked if he would be interested in filming a documentary about DEFCON, whose policies and attendees have traditionally rejected media scrutiny and access. He was interested. Working with his producer, Rachel Lovinger, and a crew of six, Jason filmed for most of 2012, including five 20-hour days in Las Vegas last year, and then spent another 9 months editing 278 hours of footage into what has become DEFCON: The Documentary. The finished film premiered at DEFCON XXI.
Jason and Rachel also gave this talk, which provided a look behind the scenes: discussing the planning and production process for this immense project, the ups and downs, and the learned lessons. [During the talk we showed clips and outtakes - those are not in this presentation].
This is a preview version of the Content Modelling Workshop that I've co-written with Cleve Gibbon. So far we've given this workshop in Cape Town and Minneapolis. Coming soon to Helsinki, and hopefully elsewhere. This deck introduces the ideas and methodologies of content modelling. It's a subset of the slides for the workshop. The full workshop also includes more information on structured content, benefits of content modelling, many group exercises and discussions, and tips on how to putting these practices to work in real projects.
Everyone's talking about responsive design, and how you need structured content in order to make it happen. But what does "structured content" really mean, and how do you make it happen?
A presentation given on 25 October 2012, at Content Strategy Forum 2012 in Cape Town, South Africa.
I presented these slides at Sisältöstrategiaseminaari 2012 (Content Strategy Seminar 2012) in Helsinki. The event was a co-production of Vapa Media and the University of Helsinki.
The presentation addresses why Content Strategy is a practice of such particular interest right now. It looks at how we got to where we are today, why content strategy matters, and a few future trends to watch.
A presentation I gave at the Content Strategy Forum 2010, in Paris.
For those who couldn't make it to Paris, I gave this presentation again in Chicago in June, at Web Content 2010.
This is the (slightly) updated Chicago version.
This is a talk I gave at Paraflows, a digital arts conference in Vienna. It's about why I do what I do, and how the cultural history of Generation X plays into it.
I suggest reading the speaker notes while viewing, or it probably won't make a whole lot of sense. Unfortunately, the speaker notes (after the first slide) are offset by about 8 slides.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
