Collaborative Content Modeling
4 likes905 views
The document discusses the importance of collaborative content modeling in creating a shared understanding of content across teams. It emphasizes that no single document or team can encapsulate all content-related answers, highlighting the necessity of combining efforts and insights. Various elements involved in content modeling, such as user personas, annotated wireframes, entity relationship diagrams, and data dictionaries, are explored to refine the content development process.
![“
[Develop] a language and don’t be satisfied until it
flows — complete and comprehensible, made up
of simple elements that combine to express
complex ideas.
Eric Evans, Domain-Driven Design
