The #CEO and #CFO need to care about content, not as a marketing P&L spend, but as a durable intellectual property asset that provides significant competitive advantage in an increasingly intelligent world, where content is a broker of relationships & customer experiences.

Intelligence doesn't live where data is stored — it emerges from the structured meaning encoded in data relationships between systems. The implicit and explicit schemas organizations have spent decades building are its foundation.

If you’re a data architect who’s tired of 80% of your budget going to semantic duct tape… If you’re an ontology engineer whose models never leave the lab… If you’re a content strategist whose content model is treated like a suggestion… You'll want to hear this.

I’ve been off-grid for months building something that ends the schema mess once and for all. Why do AI agents still hallucinate fields that don’t exist? Because schemas are prisoners. Time to break them out.

@jarango @peterme If only there were a conference devoted exclusively to information architecture and modeling (data, content, journey), naming, taxonomy, ontology, tools, methods, best practices, foundational thinking... instead of UX hybrids that focus on design and managing teams.

Figma is not a design tool. It is a drawing tool. That these get conflated demonstrates the shallowness of so much design practice.

@juansequeda Architecture of the invisible *feels* abstract. When we architect a house, or an engineer an electrical or plumbing system, the schematics have obvious real world implications to everyone. Schema architecture is no less critical for data & content, but yet get lost in TLDR.

- We have to talk to… humans! And humans are complicated. - As technologist, we want technology, automation and avoid manual tasks like talking to humans. - modeling is as much of an art as it is a science. What are other reasons?

Data Modeling is hard!! It’s actually a lost art. Much of Computer Science research in the 90s focused on this (hello expert systems!!) but it got lost due to the rise of Big Data and NoSQL. It’s hard because:

it's like becoming a member of a club with secret handshakes: certain frustrations, certain excitements, certain ways of looking at and talking about obscure problems all cause amused (or jaded) nods of recognition from other members, even if you didn't know they were in the club

writing certain kinds of software is always a tell for "my life is changing in some fundamental way and there is no going back." like, everybody who hand-rolled a CMS for some client in the 90s and 00's, their life *went in a particular direction*

Props to the resilient content change leaders carrying forward ambitious programs in the face of legacy content debt & old thinking. As a friend told me yesterday, "We’re clinging to a structured content raft in a sea of strings." and yet still progress continues! Keep rowing.

Dizzying to consider how much chunky inaccessible content & data exists in a healthcare system where data facets and portability have such importance to humans. Faxes, print & mail forms, arduous manual intakes, PDFs, and patient information overload still rule in 2022.

@storyneedle Perhaps because a large number of medical providers and payers still only transact information via fax or mail? As the volume of medical incidents increases, the need to figure out how to work with faxes to file claims and get medical records also rises.

Yes! Patterns are incredibly valuable IP. So much embedded thinking baked into reusable components used by teams to build the future. Invest in patterns and rally the organization around them. #cx #ux #designsystems #contentengineering
Michael Andrews@storyneedle

Content models and design systems are both repositories for collective UX knowledge in the enterprise. Concrete, discrete decisions are considered and evaluated in detail, decided, then added to the stock of knowledge that teams can reuse.

@content_is_all Twilight Zone! It’s true though – there are plenty of folks managing tagging systems, controlled vocabularies, and hierarchical lists that don’t necessarily relate what they’re doing to taxonomy.

@mrcruce I recently explained the idea of taxonomy to someone building a product to manage…taxonomies. A rose by any other name… 😛🌹

@AlanMorrison Especially today, navigating reality requires more & more abstraction. I'd submit that curriculum designers should get intentional about introducing taxonomic concepts much earlier. Some intentionally introduce abstraction from kindergarten: scholastic.com/parents/family…

@mrcruce Well, conceptualization and classification requires abstraction. It's teenagers rather than third graders who finally get to the stage of being able to reason abstractly. And some are better than others at it. Enterprises value the concrete over the abstract. HR in particular.
