title: Content model
description: The content model is the output of doing content modelling. Content modelling organises, classifies and describes content so it can be understood and used by humans and computers.
details:
'Content modelling divides content into smaller pieces to support content reuse, findability and consistency.
Giving content structure at a more granular level than the ‘page’ enables better search, knowledge organisation and AI outcomes.
Content modelling defines:
-
the different content types you have (or could have) in your domain
-
the attributes that make up each content type
-
the relationships between the content types' synonym: 0: title: link: definition: nonPreferred: 0: title: link: definition: relatedTerm: 0: title: Domain model link: definition: this maps an organisation's core concepts and the relationships between them theme: Information layer order: 1
