The book "Content Everywhere," explore the act creating robust content structures, optimizing user experiences, and ensuring content accessibility across various platforms for a seamless and inclusive audience experience.
It delves into the fundamental components of information architecture (IA), which serve to define spatial relationships and organizational systems. IA establishes hierarchies, taxonomies, vocabularies, and schema, resulting in tangible documentation such as sitemaps, wireframes, content types, and user flows. These elements facilitate the design of navigation and search systems, crucial for seamless user experiences.
The book explores how elements relate to each other—whether hierarchically as parent and child, interdependently like spouses, or complementarily like friends. For instance, an image and its caption might be interdependent, inseparable entities, while a timeline sidebar could be a child story related to its larger parent feature but easier to detach.
It also highlights the importance of content structure, metadata, and markup in enhancing content discoverability across diverse platforms. It emphasizes the necessity of making content platform-agnostic, ensuring universal accessibility to the same content, regardless of the device or platform users engage with.
