- 16. Domain Modelling • Notyet a “computer thing”; more user research with a different technique • The domain modelling is more important than the domain model • Don’t “start with user needs”. Start with user mental models • Get people to sketch their view of their world. Sketch back at them • Accept that some bits of Parliament are complicated. But some bits are complex • Model just enough to be useful but no more

- 21. Ubiquitous language • Businessapplication labels • Data model / ontology • Service layer API • Models • Controllers • URLs • Markup • CSS etc
- 22. Next steps • Sensecheck the details around passage of a bill • Zoom in to specific areas as business applications and the new website require • More domain modelling with domain experts (internal and external) • More domain modelling with end users • Synthesise the models • Derive data models (ontologies) from the domain model • The domain model is not just a step to a data model • It informs the information architecture of business applications, stapling tools and the new website • And how the website interoperates with the wider web
- 23. Demo of schema.orgso far
- 24. Future collaboration • WithHouse of Representatives on data models and mappings to schema.org • With schema.org to map our internal model to search engine friendly models • With GDS / NAO on registers (reference data) for common interests (eg Government departments) • With other parliaments (via the IPU) to agree on common models (and differences) • With Wikidata to map our identifiers to theirs

- 26. Always end onpolemic • Your parliament is not a snowflake
