Presentation given by Peter Martin & Martin Belam at Online Information 2010 in London, showing how the Guardian applies tag metadata to content, derives value from that metadata, and has begun to map Guardian tags to the linked open data ecosphere.
No more 'us and them': How 20 years of digital communications smashed the bou...Martin Belam
This is a presentation given at the UK UPA's World Usability Day event in London in November 2010. The theme of World Usability Day was 'communication', and so I took the opportunity to look at how digital communication in the last twenty years has transformed the relationship between media companies and their audience, using plenty of examples from the Guardian where I work
UX is not just about building huge coherent web architectures. We have become digital nomads - building tents, rather than building houses, in environments that suit our needs. People no longer inhabit worlds built by designers, but in worlds built by themselves.
Increasingly it is about building applications and understanding how applications interact with each other and their embedded environment. It is about forging relevant links with technologies that are appropriate. Relevance has surpassed usability as the most important factor of web strategy and web design.
Context defines how usable your experience needs to be, and we are steadily moving from interface design to concept design...IA and UX has for many years looked at the web in a traditional one way communications paradigm, where it is all about conveying a message to the end user.
But the Internet is NOT the new newspaper, the new radio or the new television. The web is actually not a medium at all, if anything it is a paradigm of interaction. It is something completely different which as a discipline we need to demonstrate with an open approach to our design work, that is documented, shared and refined.
Those involved in the field must realize that usability is becoming more bound by context and relevance to individual needs, it cannot be merely prescriptive.
Esperienza utente e fruizione dei contenuti nei quotidiani online in Italia.Cristiano Rastelli
Partendo dall’esperienza acquisita e vissuta in prima persona durante i due anni di lavoro che hanno portato prima alla realizzazione e poi al successivo mantenimento del sito web di un piccolo giornale d’opinione a diffusione nazionale, cercheremo di portare la nostra analisi sul rapporto fra esperienza utente e fruizione dei contenuti anche ai siti web dei principali quotidiani presenti in Italia, per provare a immaginare come i nuovi modelli di business che stanno facendo breccia nel mondo dell’editoria impongano necessariamente un nuovo approccio verso qualità, quantità e fruibilità dei contenuti offerti al lettore/consumatore/cliente, e quindi un nuovo spazio di intervento per chi si occupa di architettura dell’informazione e design dell’esperienza utente.
With increasing frequency, new independent collaborative journalistic platforms, in addition to the obvious aim of telling particular stories, are focused on helping to change a situation or solve a specific problem. Where does this trend come from? Is the purpose of journalism changing? Is there any impact on the business model?
This is a journey through the case histories of journalistic solutions, to build a possible common and replicable pattern.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

Mapping the Guardian's tags to the web of data
1. Mapping the Guardian's tags to the web of data Peter Martin & Martin Belam Guardian News & Media November 2010
2. Our content model relies on tags... ...which are not anywhere near as boring as you think Keywords Contributor Series Publication Tone Article Video Audio Gallery Cartoon Tags Content Keywords
3. Every piece of content carries a selection of hand-picked tags
4. They are added during content production ...and the system suggests them as you type
9. On the site they give us related links & tag pages (OK, that is admittedly a little bit boring)
10. They allow us to cross-promote content A film review for "The Damned United" is in amongst the football stories
11. And we can create 'combiner' pages with them...
12. ...many of which are more useful than bullfighting+vuvuzelas This page is assembled automatically by combining the 'review' tone with the 'books' section
13. Tags are used to place editorial components Stories tagged with 'Apple' in the Technology section display recent tweets on the topic by Guardian contributors
14. And to customise commercial components Adverts that appear in the Guardian Jobs slot are tuned by the tags applied to article content
15. Topical navigation on the iPhone The Guardian iPhone app uses tags to provide lateral navigation into topics
16. Topical navigation on the iPhone The Guardian iPhone app uses tags to provide lateral navigation into topics
17. Trending on the iPhone The iPhone app also examines the tags with the most activity, to produce the 'trending' topic index
18. Tags help with search results We use links to tag pages as results for synonyms and near-synonyms commonly used by readers
19. Tags can go in folders ...and we can turn those folders into A-Z lists and navigation on the website
20. And our tags are on Twitter To our knowledge, they are the only bit of our information architecture to have an official presence on Twitter
21. Now our tags are entering the world of linked data
