Story vs the Chunk: Content reuse patterns on the web and their interfaces

A really interesting shift is happening in the Drupal community that opens up an opportunity for structured content to have a bigger influence in marketing and media communications. New tools are arising that are changing the editorial experience from a field-based topic-oriented content architecture with a rigid structure, which often resulted in large unstructured blobs of content inside those fields. To a more flexible model where structured data is used to augment stories, an architecture in which structured content is embedded in the narrative flow of the content.

What can attendees expect to learn?

In this session I want to explore the benefits of different types of structured content for media and non-technical content:

  • Why structured content is on the rise on the web
  • What editorial interfaces are emerging in the Drupal community
  • What it means for the DITA community
