4. Content collection and preparation

This section focuses on content - the core asset of any information system - and the way in which it is managed both at the corporate level and by the content owner. High quality content (strong Web writing, easy-to-scan layout and content richness) is key to audience satisfaction.

The goal of this section is to provide practical guidance on how to:

  • collect/contribute content from/to existing corporate repositories and catalogues;
  • make content useful and usable;
  • adopt corporate standards/policies aimed at conservation of institutional memory;
  • reuse existing content;
  • reduce duplication of effort; and
  • promote smoother interoperability across information systems.
