Participants

Discussion and Issues

• Brief discussion of planned shared responsibilities for maintenance of new site.
• Building a wireframe of proposed site architecture; some major folders may need re-structuring. Trying to assess the many resources on the site and determine how to organize for the best user experience.
• Vocabularies/ontologies - vs - content standards/profiles
  • Do any content standards exist without built-in vocabularies, or is this strictly a conceptual difference?
  • Acknowledged need to map out the site so people can see what's there, not rely on search function. Visible organization helps members recognize the value of our collection.
  • Guides team looking at this too: organization is important for that section too. The main site organizational scheme may be a little different from guides, but this is not a problem
• Tools and Projects folders
  The tools folder contains a very long list, need to assess these to see the possible organization
  The Projects folder - what are people looking for when they come to this folder?
