Object-oriented approaches in action

There are several benefits of building a content model in an object-oriented way. This post walks through those benefits, and demonstrates a real-life example of how this approach works on a well-known website.

#PageBuilder is out, #StructuredContent is in. Websites are increasingly read by machines, not humans. But the benefits are harder to convey to editors and decision makers. Open question: Can “the UX race to the bottom” and “easy is whatever I'm already used to” be fixed with education?

#ContentStrategy and #MetadataStrategy go hand-in-hand. Ilse Jonker and Joyce van Aalten team up to combine their #StructuredContent and #Taxonomy expertise to give organizations a solid scaffolding for their #ContentOperations.

A fun and edifying talk with two VERY experienced digital professionals. Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

Structured Content in the Age of AI: The Ticket to the Promised Land?

Some towns get funding boost from Census Bureau corrections

After the U.S. Census Bureau released its first round of official 2020 population corrections in January, many states and cities still await action on the bulk of their counting issues and the funding shortfalls those mishaps can cause. Early winners are those areas where the census had clear technical problems — where mapping issues or uncertain boundaries misplaced prisons in Arkansas, Georgia and Tennessee, adding their populations incorrectly to nearby areas.
