This document discusses various types of maps and mapping concepts. It begins by showing examples of historical maps from different cultures and time periods. It then discusses different types of maps like topological maps, concept maps, organizational charts, and more. The document suggests that anything can be mapped using pairs of opposites. It presents a scenario of mapping out the departments in a regional government to understand their relationships and content workflows. The mapping process involves identifying each department, positioning them on a coordinate system, and noting connections between them. The goal is to get a sense of the environment to determine how to improve content consistency across departments.
Maps are more than just diagrams of the route from A to B – to draw one is to bring together the whole view of our surrounding world so that we can gain a better understanding of it. Even a single, simple example has the ability to delight, unsettle and reveal truths. In politically-charged environments an objective visual map can reinforce, influence or challenge held perceptions and beliefs, making them a vital tool in designing pliable, people-focused content systems that are fit for purpose. Their proactive and reactive qualities force ourselves and others to see things as they really are; to contemplate the relationship between them and how they vary together.
Presented at the IA Summit 2015 in Minneapolis on 25th April 2015.

Presented at UX Cambridge 2014 at Churchill College, Cambridge on 12th September 2014.
This document discusses content design and provides tips for effective content creation. It explains that content design aims to answer user needs in the most useful way for consumers. User research through forums and discovery gives insights into user language, models and priorities to create a targeted content plan. The document recommends using user stories with acceptance criteria to align stakeholders and avoid duplication. It also advocates having constructive conversations informed by data to gain perspective and listening to others to create better products and working experiences. Key principles highlighted include showing not telling, focusing on user needs over wants, and everyone doing their best with available information.
The document discusses the importance of metadata for archiving digital content and history. It describes how Jason Scott transformed from a "metadata skeptic" to a "metadata warrior" after his experiences rescuing data from Geocities. Proper metadata made the rescued data more useful, efficient to archive, and prevented duplication. The document advocates for taking a long-term view of digital content and using metadata to ensure information can be discovered and understood in the future.

How the National Trust is transforming - 500 web editors and a five year planBristol Media
The National Trust is undertaking a 5-year plan to transform its digital presence and address longstanding issues. It launched a new responsive website in Year 1 with 9,000 pages of content focused on connecting people to special places. It also developed a mobile app. However, more work remained, including consolidating over 50 websites and apps. The plan for Years 2-5 involves continued improvements such as sign-in capabilities, as well as launching secret initiatives and upgrading platforms. Digital innovation projects experimenting with emerging technologies also aim to improve the user experience and engagement.

John Randel Jr. was commissioned in 1807 to survey Manhattan and lay out the city's streets in a grid pattern. This was done to promote order, public convenience, and most importantly public health, as the island was previously covered with private estates and unsustainably populated. Over 200 years later, responsive web design allows content to be easily accessed on a variety of devices, with the goal of creating universally usable websites. Designers are now considering how to promote the health, sustainability and performance of the web through techniques like progressive enhancement and reducing file sizes.

Usable Language | How Content Shapes The User ExperienceRandall Snare
The document provides an overview of how content shapes the user experience in three key areas: information architecture, design, and analytics. It discusses how information architecture is about organizing information to suit users' needs, and how labels and navigation are crucial. It also explains that wireframes and design decisions should be informed by the planned content. Finally, it describes how analytics data about user behavior and key metrics can provide insights to improve content, such as by optimizing pages that see high dropout rates or searches. The document emphasizes that content is essential to all aspects of the user experience.
WhichBus is a mobile app that provides a simple and beautiful way to navigate public transit systems. It aims to be the global platform for consumer mass transit planning by providing real-time transit information from multiple services like bus, light rail, and ferries. The app has seen early traction winning awards and with over 1,000 signups in private beta. Future plans include expanding to more cities and building out mobile and tablet apps.
Changing Face of Customer Service in GovernmentGovLoop
This document summarizes a presentation given at a customer service conference. It discusses how government agencies are changing their approach to customer service to meet evolving customer expectations.
The presentation covered how agencies are now focusing on customer experience by understanding customer needs, gathering feedback, and measuring performance. It emphasized involving leadership, telling customer stories, and continually improving based on data. Case studies showed how focusing on customer experience led to increased loyalty, adoption of services, and trust in government. The document demonstrated how agencies can apply these best practices to better serve their own customers.
Best Nonprofit Websites & Why I like ThemDawn Quinn
The document summarizes and provides links to the sitemaps of 5 nonprofit websites: ACUMEN, UPSTREAM, CAMFED, Breakthrough Schools, and Special Olympics. For each nonprofit, it describes aspects of their website design and user experience that make their site effective. It highlights things like easy navigation, compelling calls to action, and use of images and video to engage visitors and explain the nonprofit's impact. The final section provides tips for creating great content for a nonprofit website, such as focusing on organizational goals, defining the target audience, setting content creation deadlines, and collecting stakeholder feedback.
The document discusses linked data and its use in libraries. It describes how linked data can make implicit information explicit by using vocabularies and ontologies. Linked data takes advantage of web standards to better describe resources and make them easier to find. It addresses the need for a "library shaped hole" on the internet and the benefits of moving library data out of silos and enabling reuse through a MARC replacement like BIBFRAME. Challenges in transforming data and transitioning to new terminology are also discussed.
This document proposes a cloud-based solution to manage social media as a large-scale customer service channel. The key aspects that make it different are its prioritization engine, ability to combine public, private and one-to-many communications, and bringing real-time customer service analytics into social media.
The document discusses the proposal for a new top-level domain (TLD), .nyc, dedicated to New York City. It argues that a .nyc TLD could help organize and make accessible the city's digital resources by providing intuitive domain names related to New York City organizations, events, and topics. It could also help reconnect New Yorkers and strengthen civic communication by providing a dedicated online space for the city's population. The process for obtaining a new TLD is complex, requiring approval from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The organizers of the .nyc TLD proposal aim to launch the new domain in a way that benefits community groups and civic participation.
Making Places with Information Architecture & Content StrategyDaniel Eizans
Whether we realize it or not, UX is largely the art of tailoring the experiences we design to our content: its semantics, hierarchies, relationships and meaning. Some of the most important work necessary to successful experiences happens before anyone starts to sketch an interface.
This half-day workshop allowed participants to explore perspectives on how IA and Content Strategy provide important context that shapes user-experiences we design and allowed them to learn new tools, techniques, and strategies for designing content-aware interfaces.

Designing self-service support content – SD Expo Europe 2019Richard Ingram
Customers will always opt for the path of least resistance. Why wait for an agent’s response when you can self-serve immediately? It’s little wonder customers place such great value on intuitive, guided, and simple help centers. They won’t tolerate a jumble of predetermined questions and irrelevant information. They want the one right answer to their question and to leave as quickly as they arrived. So what’s the best way to deliver a great self-service support experience for your customers? It means making sure your support content consistently delivers accuracy and clarity, whilst drawing on your team’s collective knowledge. In this session, you’ll learn how to eable and empower non-writers to write effective technical content, maintain living resources, like pattern libraries and style guides and use content testing methods that went beyond heuristics and analytics.

This document outlines activities from a workshop on collaborating with subject matter experts through pair writing. The workshop introduced pair writing as a technique where two people write content together from the same source material. Participants took part in activities like identifying challenges of writing alone, pair drawing, and quick-fire pair writing exercises. They also practiced pair writing by developing content for a new product from the perspective of different user personas. The goal of the workshop was to illustrate how pair writing can improve content quality by encouraging collaboration, knowledge sharing, and effective input from subject matter experts.

One of the great challenges of user experience design - and especially of content production – is getting ideas from the heads of subject matter experts into the heads of content designers. Often the people with topical expertise are too busy to produce content or unable to communicate their expertise in a way that serves the intended audience, but their input is crucial to make sure we write knowledgeably and accurately about a subject.
Enter pair writing. Inspired by the agile technique of pair programming, pair writing brings together subject matter experts and content designers right from the start to create clear, concise, accurate content that meets user needs.

The Importance of Visualisation – Mapping the Way ForwardRichard Ingram
Maps are more than just diagrams of the route from A to B – to draw one is to bring together the whole view of our surrounding world so that we can gain a better understanding of it. Even a single, simple example has the ability to delight, unsettle and reveal truths. In politically-charged environments an objective visual map can reinforce, influence or challenge held perceptions and beliefs, making them a vital tool in designing pliable, people-focused content systems that are fit for purpose. Their proactive and reactive qualities force ourselves and others to see things as they really are; to contemplate the relationship between them and how they vary together.

Visualising data: Seeing is Believing - CS Forum 2012Richard Ingram
When patterns and connections are revealed between numbers, content and people that might otherwise be too abstract or scattered to be grasped, we’re able to make better sense of where we are, what it might mean and what needs to be done.
Using the data from a survey in which web content professionals from six continents were questioned about their life, work and education, I revealed the six most common and relevant paths that led them to the discipline of content strategy.

Build applications with generative AI on Google CloudMárton Kodok
We will explore Vertex AI - Model Garden powered experiences, we are going to learn more about the integration of these generative AI APIs. We are going to see in action what the Gemini family of generative models are for developers to build and deploy AI-driven applications. Vertex AI includes a suite of foundation models, these are referred to as the PaLM and Gemini family of generative ai models, and they come in different versions. We are going to cover how to use via API to: - execute prompts in text and chat - cover multimodal use cases with image prompts. - finetune and distill to improve knowledge domains - run function calls with foundation models to optimize them for specific tasks. At the end of the session, developers will understand how to innovate with generative AI and develop apps using the generative ai industry trends.
ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.
