Content Inventory BDMTW Group for the Idea Index

Transcription

1 Content Inventory BDMTW Group for the Idea Index Scope The Content Inventory covers the website of the Buckminster Fuller Institute's Challenge competition. This document is not meant to be an exhaustive inventory of the website. Instead, it is an inventory of the site's main pages, sub- pages, and the key elements (content) within those pages, all of which our team considered essential for use in the redesign of BFI's Challenge site. Column Definitions ID Sub- ID Page IDs are unique numerical identifers assigned by a decimal- based number system. Whole numbers (e.g., 1.0, 2.0, 3.0) are given to main pages on the BFI Challenge site. These pages are each listed in the main navigation bar. Pages with one number after the decimal point (e.g., 2.1, 2.2, 2.3) are pages that are subordinate to those main pages (one level down in the hierarchy). Sub- IDs are similar to Page IDs, but represent a specific element within a webpage as opposed to the webpage itself. Sub- IDs will have three numbers after the decimal point (e.g., 2.101, 2.102, 2.103). Location A uniform resource locator (URL) is given for the location of each page. These URLs are current as of October Page/Element Name Page/Element Type Categories Content Personas Notes The name given to each page or element is either taken from the page title or the heading given from a portion of content. We made very slight changes to some terms currently used on the BFI site based on whether we felt that the term's meaning was unclear. Lists whether the page serves as a Gallery Page (has the main purpose of providing links to other pages) or as a Content Page (has the main function of providing content to the user). Lists whether the page/element is Static (contains content which doesn't change/isn't often updated) or Dynamic (changes/updated with frequency). A brief description of the content and function of each webpage/element. If the Page/Element Name provided a sufficient description, this column was left blank. A listing of which personas would find the page/element useful or of interest. Our group has created four personas for the purposes of this study:,,, or Learner. Miscellaneous notes regarding the page/element, including notes regarding duplicative pages (sub- pages that exist within multiple main pages).
